CROWD: An iPod killer! We've found An iPod killer!

VILLAGER #1: We've found an iPod killer. May we overhype it?

CROWD: Overhype it! Overhype! Overhype it!

SCOBLE: How do you know it is an iPod killer?

VILLAGER #2: It looks like one.

CROWD: Right! Yeah! Yeah!

SCOBLE: Bring it forward.

ORIGAMI: I'm not an iPod killer! I'm not an iPod killer!

SCOBLE: Uh, but you look like one.

ORIGAMI: They photoshopped me like this.

CROWD: Augh, we didn't! We didn't…

ORIGAMI: And that wasn't my video. It's a concept piece.

SCOBLE: Well?

VILLAGER #1: Well, we did do the photoshopping.

SCOBLE: And the video?

VILLAGER #1: And the video, but it is an iPod killer!

VILLAGER #2: Yeah!

CROWD: Overhype it! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!

VILLAGERS #1 and #2: A bit.

VILLAGER #3: A bit.

VILLAGER #1: It has got Windows Media Player.

RANDOM: *cough*

SCOBLE: What makes you think she is an iPod killer?

VILLAGER #3: Well, it looks like a portable media device.

SCOBLE: A portable media device?

VILLAGER #3: I got better.

VILLAGER #2: Overhype it anyway!

VILLAGER #1: Overhype!

CROWD: Overhype it! Overhype! Overhype it!

SCOBLE: Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether it is an iPod killer.

VILLAGER #1: Are there?

VILLAGER #2: Ah?

VILLAGER #1: What are they?

CROWD: Tell us! Tell us!…

VILLAGER #2: Do they hurt?

SCOBLE: Tell me. What do you do with iPod killers?

VILLAGER #2: Overhype! Overhype!

VILLAGER #1: Overhype!

SCOBLE: And what do you overhype apart from iPod killers?

VILLAGER #1: More iPod killers!

VILLAGER #3: Shh!

VILLAGER #2: PSP killers!

SCOBLE: So, why do PSP killers get overhyped?

VILLAGER #3: Because they're made of… wood?

SCOBLE: Good!

CROWD: Oh, yeah. Oh.

SCOBLE: So, how do we tell whether she is a PSP killer?

VILLAGER #1: See if its made of wood!

SCOBLE: Ah, but did not the original Atari have faux wood-paneled?

VILLAGER #1: Oh, yeah.

RANDOM: Oh, yeah. True. Uhh…

SCOBLE: Did Atari sink when it hit the market?

VILLAGER #1: No. No.

VILLAGER #2: No, it sells! It sells!

VILLAGER #1: Launch the product, launch the product!

CROWD: Launch! Launch the product!

VILLAGER #2: VOIP! VOIP!

BILLG: A duck!

CROWD: Oooh.

SCOBLE: Exactly. So, logically…

VILLAGER #1: If… it… sells as well on launch… as a duck… it's a PSP killer.

SCOBLE: And therefore?

VILLAGER #2: An iPod killer!

VILLAGER #1: An iPod killer!

CROWD: An iPod killer! An iPod killer!…
