Everything, Even Your Vibrator, Plugs into the iPod

Beth was a bit disappointed by the Taboo Naughty but Nice Sex Show:
Every single booth seemed to have the same thing - if you were in the market for lube, vibrators, lube, a sexy Catholic school girl outfit or lube, you were in luck. But how many vibrator-lube-sexyCatholicschoolgirloutfit-and-lube booths can one person really look at in an afternoon?
Seventeen or eighteen, maybe? Anyhow, one product she does remark on is the awkwardly named OhMiBod (safeness-for-work may vary), a vibrator that plugs into your iPod and “to the rhythm and intensity of the music”. If you think that name is bad, read about the ‘Acsexories’ you can get for your fancy new sex toy. Meh.
Clever idea, but I immediately had several questions:
- How much battery power does it need? A lot, I would guess. Ah, hang on. Just found the product info page, and the device itself takes two AA batteries.
- How does it handle classical music? Will, uh, ‘listening’ to Bach make you late for work (I see they have some recommended music).
- Does it only come in Apple White?
Still, it’s probably just the thing to eliminate that pre-MacWorld anxiety.
Speaking of stuff that plugs into your iPod, I feel obligated to remark on the nightmare that is the iPod’s backward-compatibility problems. I recently tried to plug in Julie’s old (as in, 18 months old) iPod Shuffle into my MacBook. The device is too wide, and covers both USB ports when you plug it in.
Don’t iTase Me, Sis
Speaking of accessories for music-loving women, consider the iTaser.
It’s a taser with a built-in MP3 player, and it comes with a fashionable leopard-print grip. It’s apparently for the woman who wants to go jogging with the tunes, but not wear a utility belt to accommodate all her accessories. Besides, didn’t you hear that tasers are the new tupperware?
Valentine’s Day is only a month away.
