Broken: Shopping.com image
Gerald says: a purse is not computer speakers.
I can't believe my laptop bag is a "PURSE". Screw the protection, I'll just cary it in my hands, rather than have people say, "Josh carries a purse."
How come nobody's claiming this as being as un-broken as the wired wireless mouse picture from a week or so ago? The picture is just as wrong. ;P I think they're both broken.
Since I was the one who thinks an incorrect picture does not a broken website make, here I am with the official "NOT BROKEN."
Actually, a purse can be speakers!

I get the impression the bag is FOR the speakers, NOT the speakers. Although I have seen them built right into these things before, the sound is just not for an audiophile.
Interestingly enough, the maker of these speakers, Sonic Impact (www.si-5.com) does make a portable backpack with speakers built-in. It doesn't look much like Shopping.com's photo though. It's not clear what product Shopping.com is selling:
Sonic Impact has two generations of flat, portable speakers
