  • inactive, on 05/13/2009, -0/+48They should have made a deal with Virgin. Who wouldn't want to buy a Virgin Penis? The competition in the cell phone market would be stiff.
  • RileyCourage, on 05/12/2009, -0/+47I don't know why this picture makes it so much funnier.
  • hoffmann277, on 05/13/2009, -4/+41I refuse to play with Chavez's "penis."
  • mikeinto, on 05/13/2009, -7/+34A dick selling a penis phone. How odd.
  • benroy, on 05/13/2009, -7/+34is that anything like a dictaphone?
  • Scorpius666, on 05/13/2009, -3/+28OMG that's a terrible translation there.

    In Venezuela "Vergatario" doesn't mean penis though "verga" does. "Vergatario" is slang for someone extremely brave or something exteremely cool (and that phone is NOT).
  • DarkDx, on 05/13/2009, -0/+23Lol I'm from venezuela and we don't use "verga" for penis, that's in spain and some other countries. It's still a swear word tough.
  • Konnnan, on 05/13/2009, -0/+22Release the penis phone here please. I want to be somebody!
  • inactive, on 05/13/2009, -1/+22I was just informed by my Venezuelan friend that "Vergatorio" is in fact a colloquial expression equivalent to "***** awesome"... not penis.
  • intro211, on 05/13/2009, -1/+22Is it bigger if you buy it in black ?
  • taox, on 05/12/2009, -4/+23I love the Verga, it's light, beautiful, good and cheap.
  • yellowfish04, on 05/13/2009, -1/+19This is one of those times where the headline and the article itself provide more than enough humor.

  • flaminglips, on 05/13/2009, -0/+18Your idea sounds like it would be a huge flop.
  • inactive, on 05/13/2009, -0/+18Thats funny because Comcast is slang for Crap, even in countries that dont have it!
  • Konnnan, on 05/13/2009, -1/+16Will Chavez start prefixing everything with 'penis'? Kinda like everything in the USSR was the 'red'.
    That'd be rad.
  • deltron0, on 05/13/2009, -1/+16Penis phone > Banana phone
  • terraking, on 05/13/2009, -1/+16I wouldn't put it anywhere near my mouth.
  • Laminarcissus, on 05/13/2009, -1/+16Nicely done. Please pick any prize from the middle shelf.
  • rolf, on 05/13/2009, -0/+14I'm sure there is more than enough of those on digg already.
  • TheCollective00, on 05/13/2009, -0/+14Can you really penetrate the market with that strategy?
  • inactive, on 05/13/2009, -11/+25Mr. Chavez, you're now thinking full retard.
  • Laminarcissus, on 05/13/2009, -4/+16This guy should be running PETA.
  • aschmack, on 05/13/2009, -1/+13I would have gone with vibrating.
  • DarkShroud, on 05/13/2009, -1/+12Apple already has that market.
  • TrichomeKid, on 05/13/2009, -0/+11That's ironic since Verizon is actually slang for "scrotum" in Venezuela.
  • Spinducky08, on 05/13/2009, -1/+12"anything in this general area right in here. Anything
    below the stereo and on this side of the bicentennial glasses. Anything between the ashtrays and the thimble. Anything in this three inches right in here in this area. That includes the Chiclets, but not the erasers."
  • Y0tsuya, on 05/13/2009, -1/+12Girls love my Vergatorio too.
  • enthreeoh, on 05/13/2009, -0/+10Strongest vibrating function?
  • pegothejerk, on 05/13/2009, -1/+11Does that make his countrymen catchers?
  • twiztidsinz, on 05/13/2009, -5/+15You should go to Colombia anyway.
    You're obviously not happy here, so why do you stay? Unless that is, you just like to bitch about things from your comfy vantage point...
  • Lexxvs, on 05/13/2009, -0/+9May be you can give it to your wife. I guess she has not such phobia.
  • Ceryn1126, on 05/13/2009, -0/+8Just a sec I gotta check my penis for new messages.
  • BugMeNot2, on 05/13/2009, -0/+8You never go full retard.
  • StolenLamp, on 05/13/2009, -0/+8You just took this to a whole 'nother level.
  • Oea420, on 05/13/2009, -3/+11Lol, Venezuela is Brazil (like the movie!)
  • inactive, on 05/13/2009, -1/+8That phone sounds like an interesting idea. erection.
  • Xaevier, on 05/13/2009, -4/+11Why because he is crazy and does absurd publicity stunts?
  • darkslide29, on 05/13/2009, -1/+8What?? The Onion? No?
    Oh Hugo, you slay me.
  • inactive, on 05/13/2009, -4/+11Did I miss something? I went to a hippie-dippy liberal arts college, and I don't remember anyone cheering him on. Most people I knew just thought he was a joke. And the penis phone goes a long way to confirm those suspicions.
  • Barackalypse, on 05/13/2009, -0/+7I was going to make a crack about Chavez being a defacto dictator and how you better be careful what you say on a cell phone network run by an entity his Government owns, but it seems kind of hypocritical for me to do that given the Oresident of my country voted to give our private telcom companies immunity for the warrantless spying they did on Americans for the Government.
  • dollar0dot02, on 05/13/2009, -0/+7Actually he has a red penis so he can talk directly with world leaders.
  • Konnnan, on 05/13/2009, -0/+7Up here in Canada, that would be an appropriate name to go with our cell phone plans. They already feel like a dick up ass.
  • geneikillua, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6I can verify that she doesn't.
  • PeppermintPig, on 05/13/2009, -4/+10Let me put you in a masculine, patriotic, American car today!!!! You're not going to see prices like these at those ~private~ auto makers, I can guarantee it! Be sure to check out our huge tax-incentive discounts! I'm practically giving these cars away!!! We're crazy over here at Crazy Obama's!!!

    I can see it now... Sporting a 10 gallon cowboy hat and a cheap suit and tie. They even have a giant inflatable gorilla on the lot. Just go into the back-room where Bernanke and Geithner will help you fill out the paperwork!

    NO MONEY DOWN, NO MONEY DOWN!!!!
  • XenoSNK, on 05/13/2009, -1/+7Now you're thinking with portals!
  • pacman122, on 05/13/2009, -0/+6Anyone got a video of him advertising this?
  • commenter01, on 05/13/2009, -0/+5I'm from PR. Verga=Dick here. I don't care what it means in Venezuela, because it'll be impossible to sell plastic vibrating penis phones here.
  • lead2thehead, on 05/13/2009, -4/+9You just described 90% of diggers.
  • yocouchdigga, on 05/13/2009, -1/+6no but it appears that way.
