Hugo Chavez has a small handheld, and he wants the citizens of his country to get their hands on it–cheap. The outspoken Venezuelan president recently revealed his Vergatario, a supercheap phone (roughly $15) with a camera, FM radio, WAP Internet access, and MP3 playback.
The president showed off his device on his TV show, stating, “Whoever doesn’t have a Vergatario is nothing,” which is actually pretty hilarious when you find out that vergatario is slang for penis. This comes from the man who called George W. Bush a pendejo–the guy knows his curse words.
The Vergatario’s cheap price is due to government subsidies. The first 10,000 will be released this week, and the total is expected to his 600,000 by year’s end.
