Saint B MP3 Player – Vampires Hate It

Saint B MP3 Player - Vampires Hate It

Perfect for killing vampires, this Saint B is an MP3 player concept from Russia. The gadget hangs around your neck where OLED beauty glistens through a flexible black plastic cover. It charges and synchronizes via USB port. Its dimensions are 92mm x 64mm x 11mm.

Concept: A form of the player is inspired by the original Christian symbol, the cross. Indeed, we wear it in the same manner as a player – around the neck.
We are playing not only with the form, but with religious symbolsycs. This player immediately brings many questions – whether it is possible to listen to any kind of music on it? Whether it can keep on playing a role of the religious symbol? Does everybody have a moral right to wear this thing?
