The weirdest things at IFA 2009, in pictures

Gadgets

Every year we go to the IFA tech trade show in Berlin, and every year we see bigger demonstrations of corporate wealth and visitor stupidity. We thought we'd share some of the more interesting sights we saw from this year's visit, concluding with a photo of one of Crave's writers eating an enormous sausage. Be prepared: it was twice the size of his head.

But first, we present you with the photograph above. Since freak shows are illegal these days, Vodafone offered the next best thing: a grown man playing air guitar with a giant inflatable instrument, and a pelvic bulge of questionable girth. He was one of many guests offered the chance to compete in Vodafone's air-guitar competition, during which other passers by got to have a hearty giggle at each contestant.

Up next, what happens when a man with a beard meets a lady with a razor.

"If you're a man, you probably grow facial here."

Should say Facial Hair?

Anyway, this article gave me some lols. I don't really understand this 3DTV craze though, doesn't particularly interest me.

I don't think it's a shame that IFA is open to the public - it gives people like us a chance to sample the new technologies for at least a day. Journalists still get to interview, film hands-on videos and write up articles like this one about it all.
