Note to self: Don't forget to pack the other 5 recorders!

gawker.com — We count six recording devices in the hands of the woman on the right. Why? Is she covering for five colleagues on a smoke break? Is she presenting them as an offering to Press Corps God Barack Obama?

  • chris9902, on 03/07/2008, -2/+162Dolby 5.1 reporting. It's the future.
  • Waskonator, on 03/07/2008, -3/+108Actually, she is trying to beat the world record of "Most Tetris games played simultaneously."
    Obama wanted a shot at it.
  • inactive, on 03/07/2008, -6/+111If you look carefully, you'll see they are all on a plane, and there is not enough aisle space for many reporters to get close. She is a worker holding recorders for other reporters not in the shot. It is simply too crowded for everyone to get next to Obama. It's not a case of her being weird. Gawker is being dumb in this case.
  • ChaosProfessor, on 03/07/2008, -8/+100i was recently diagnosed with ADHD so this picture cookie dough is really good
  • inactive, on 03/07/2008, -3/+82Makes me wonder if she uses that many devices in other circumstances...
  • KenSPT, on 03/07/2008, -1/+52She's compensating for something ...
  • Braeden, on 03/07/2008, -2/+49Heh, here's another shot of her: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8V84EL80& ...
  • coppyrightmind, on 03/07/2008, -3/+43what?
  • gypsi, on 03/07/2008, -0/+38always have a backup
  • SSUK, on 03/07/2008, -1/+39Audiophiles... They sure are crazy.
  • mattcoady, on 03/07/2008, -1/+34C'mon guys. Obviously it'll be 6 times as loud now. Color me impressed.
  • inactive, on 03/07/2008, -0/+30and a backup and a backup and a backup and a backup.

    You never know when your first 4 recorders will simultaneously fail.
  • OverkillTASF, on 03/07/2008, -0/+30My recorders! Let me show you them!
  • borez, on 03/07/2008, -10/+38She has a second job as a professional dog walker

  • daftie, on 03/07/2008, -0/+24You should see her backpack. 10 pounds of batteries.
  • chrisaug18, on 03/07/2008, -1/+23not bad, not bad
  • imikedaman, on 03/07/2008, -0/+18Time has another one: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1 ...
  • chrisaug18, on 03/07/2008, -0/+18Umm, no he is in the picture also
  • A11YND, on 03/07/2008, -0/+16obviously she's multi-tracking.
  • coppyrightmind, on 03/07/2008, -0/+16He's probably wondering why she won't go away.
  • inactive, on 03/07/2008, -6/+22She's compensating for the amount of win radiating from Obama.

    Please ignore Texas and Ohio, the country hates those states anyway.
  • hokie47, on 03/07/2008, -0/+14http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/02/ohio-vote ...

    Really how hard is it to program the site to not break links. I am not that great of a programmer but I think I could fix something like this in a few hours.
  • zydeco, on 03/07/2008, -1/+14Every adsense hit counts. Not so dumb since you all are digging it.
  • ToRoE, on 03/07/2008, -0/+13Not to mention the reason for having a backup, would be for batteries or out of space. If you are USING all your back-ups, you have no back-up. fail x 6
  • Servebot, on 03/07/2008, -0/+13nice comment steal
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 03/07/2008, -0/+13The ironic thing is that the recordings on all of them are probably full of clacking and scraping noises from all of those being rubbed together.
  • Zaggynl, on 03/07/2008, -0/+12No definition were found for schizerphirnic
    Did you mean: schizophrenic?
  • UrbanVoyeur, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11some record the big words, others the little words. and a couple are just for punctuation.
  • sea5ons, on 03/07/2008, -1/+12I think he is confused because you said "How do I put this ***** THIS together?"
  • colouredlights, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11those are her fingers
  • osbjmg, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10That is why the submitter said "other 5 recorders", this refers to others in addition to an initial one. Get it?
  • inactive, on 03/07/2008, -2/+11If you couldn't tell just by looking at the link, you're an idiot. Rick roll is getting verrrry old very quick...
  • ours, on 03/07/2008, -1/+10We don't all live in the US. So it's your president.
    But congratulations anyway, he sounds better then the last one (despite the bar being quite low).
  • AllYourBase3, on 03/07/2008, -0/+9but is she 5 recorders cool?
  • test5477, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8she's covering for the people in the bathroom.

  • Codee, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8Nice a juggler. I'll keep her.
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8"Susie Recorder-Hands" coming this summer from Tim Burton.
  • Lane, on 03/07/2008, -1/+8Maybe it's a photo op and really there are only 4 people around obama?
  • hokie47, on 03/07/2008, -4/+11Really. Ohio Voter On 60 Minutes: I Hear Obama Is Muslim, Doesn't Know National Anthem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/02/ohio-vote ...
    I rather tired of these stereotypical fat white "working men" who think they are all important and know everything.

    I wish Obama would say that he is a ***** idiot, but he can't
  • reaper527, on 03/07/2008, -2/+8So this is how they make 5.1 sound ;)
  • Bagrad, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7Barack looks like a badass on that picture.
  • ours, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6RAID for audio.
  • jamesdew, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6I guess you couldn't see that on your iphone
  • ToMZiLLA, on 03/07/2008, -3/+9Product placement
  • guy6600crazy, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6Sigh.. At least don't copy comments!
  • zomgorly, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7People still use cassette recorders?
  • hobbitsareneat, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6I don't like that.
  • falkonv7l, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Profit! take these back to the five or so reporters waiting in the terminal, and auction them off.
