Odd product, odder advertising

It might seem a strange idea to fit a mp3 player into the ammunition magazine of an AK-47 assault rifle, but what I find even more bizarre is the way it's presented on the manufacturer's website.  The dubious benefit of using barely-dressed models (the 'Triple Kalashnikov Girls') is ruined by juxtaposing a gratuitous photo of a (covered) female crotch and a photo of some bearded, long-haired Russian ex-rock-star gnome peering myopically at the camera.
