Do with me what you will, just spare the Macbook!

We can add another cliche to the “confirmed” list: men love their gadgets - apparently, even more than their faces. Super-congenial late night host (supposedly congenial? there are some rumors around town involving red wine, but we’ve all been there…) Charlie Rose broadcast Monday night sporting a shiner worthy of ten rounds with Holyfield. According to Gothamist, Rose stepped in a pothole near PBS’s 59th street studios, and while falling, put his body between the street and his precious Macbook Air (a slightly ridiculous toy to begin with, if you ask me…). I’m hard pressed to wonder if the result would be the same if he was carrying, say… a child… But then again, a child doesn’t have 64GB of solid state memory, titanium casing, and isn’t less than an inch thick, now is it?
