The awesome 9V power of ROLAND

Battery update! It's been a while. We forgot how ace batteries are. Sorry, batteries. Thanks to reader "Mash440" for the exemplary find and photography work.



It would appear that musical equipment maker Roland has paid an Asian contractor to create a custom range of bespoke batteries to go in its goods. One day, we WILL make an Idiot Toys battery.



Mr 440 has done a superb job with his photos. The EXIF data shows he used a Pentax K100D Super.



But never mind the camera, let's admire the composition.



All it takes is a well-shot 9V battery and a hint of gadget-with-face and our enthusiasm has ROCKETED back to 2006 levels.

Don't eat it, BOSS! It's got poisonous chemicals inside.

You think BOSS cares about poisonous chemicals? BOSS eats poisonous chemicals for breakfast! That picture is from last Thursday morning.

Blah Blah, something hilarious about AAs being like sausages to him.

I tried idiot, I tried.
Cant find anyone who will do 'promotional branded batteries'. Having said that, it was still a better use of my time than during a normal working day...

unwhimiu - When the urge for spontaneity is crushed from you through the monotony of the aforementioned working day.

I don't mind buying 5,000 or so if it gets the job done.

"One day, we WILL make an Idiot Toys battery."

I wonder if this is another prophecy post from Cmdr BOSS

"The future of video games is waving your arms around -- LIKE A RETARD!"

Nintendo first spoke of the console at the 2004 E3 press conference and later unveiled the system at the 2005 E3.

Im also will buy some (as long are the rubbish ones that are 32 for a quid)

I've typed so many words some were bound to be right eventually.

I'll investigate battery manufacturers seriously. The thought of producing a branded 9V cell could be the reason to live I've been searching for.
