Sanyo Xacti 1080 Full-HD Camcorder with 3x Optical Zoom – $89.99
Thursday, May 5, 2011
You’re going to wish you had one of these today.
It’s Cinco de Mayo, and you’re going to need video evidence of your whereabouts.
It’s that time of year again, time for the one holiday celebrated in America that can rival St. Patrick’s Day in terms of “flimsiest excuse to binge drink:” Cinco de Mayo! Contrary to popular belief it’s not Mexico’s Independence Day. In fact, it’s not really a big deal in Mexico at all. It commemorates the Mexican army’s victory against French soldiers at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, but in the U.S. it’s basically a big celebration of Mexican and Latino culture.
But you don’t care about that, because today you’ve got a license to hammer down Negro Modelos (only noobs and frat boys drink Corona) like it’s your job. And that means at some point you’re probably going to get into something resembling either hijinx or trouble with the law, and you’ll want to have a Sanyo 1080p HD Digital Camcorder Bundle along for the ride.
Think about it: all your “epic” stories end up with you trailing off in a rambling, “uh…I mean, it was awesome, just…awesome. You had to be there, y’know, but man. Awesome.” You’re going to want some HD video evidence to impress the guys at the next cantina or Casa Gallardo or whatever. Something lightweight, something able to upload videos online super easily, and something capable of taking 10 megapixel digital photos in a pinch.
If nothing else, you’ll have some evidence to convince the authorities that you were somewhere else if they come asking.
