NSFW: Yep, Montblanc Killed my MacBook Pro Today

"Montblanc Meisterstück Le Grand Traveller"

Snark at its finest. When it takes three different languages to name your pen, it just begs for a good mocking.

TechCrunch is awful. Why does anyone post this crap on HN?

It's funnier when you read this first:

tl;dr: I just bought a $800 pen.

I'm quite sure that the author did not in fact buy an $800 pen. Its a parody of an earlier review of the new Air, suggesting that its a Macbook killer.

The tech community is notably wary of "X" killers. The snark is timely and funny. The pen got caught up in the action because its such a useless bauble of wealth signaling, it practically begs to be made fun of.
