Segway chief hoist with his own Segway

If you missed it, here's the tragic, but not really ironic story, and one of the many takes on the whole event. I thought there must be some sort of literary term for this kind of thing, but the closest I could come up with was the he was hoist with his own petard. But replace petard with some equally French word meaning complicated, expensive contraption that is really no better than the alternatives. But you can get around faster than walking without all the costs of driving a car! . . . Bicy-what-do-you-call-'em-now?

Anyway, I really just wanted to use this as an opportunity to post on my favorite world-revolutionary product that wasn't. And to post a bunch of pictures of people looking ridiculous on Segways:
