I wonder if Hasselblad realized that the Lunar would be one of the most laughed at and ridiculed cameras - EVER - prior to launch.
People make fun of the pimped up Leica editions (and some of them were enough to upset your stomach for more than one reason) but this is beyond tacky. Furthermore, it is a stupid deviation from being known as one of the premier brands in the industry for discerning photographers to being a sell out.
A Hasselblad digital Xpan would have had a cult following, but this? An occult following perhaps.
Everything you said reminds me so completely of Paris Hilton! Paris Hilton carrying a Lunar - perfect!
Hasselblad (or those calling themselves Hasselblad) have shat their undergutchies on this one, and sadly this has happened during show 'n' tell (Photokina). Everybody else in the room is giggling.
Somebody call Victor and have him pick up his stinky kid!

Respectfully, Tariq, I'd offer a modification of your bit:
"The Hasselblad Lunar...at least we waited until Neil Armstrong passed, before we passed this turd!"
