Gadgets that make you go…What the???

Friday, January 30th, 2009

We’ve traversed the world around to find the following gadgets that made us want to gag more than laugh… Alright, we did laugh, until we gag rather. But seriously? Are these gadgets over-the-top novelties or something that could make a change in our rather busy and highly unorganized life?

USB boots that resemble that of Santa Clause’s big foot shoes… Dog umbrellas that wrap like a rain coat… Even washing machines that masquerade as toilets?

How about containers that can only keep…get this, BANANAS? talk about custom-made items. Also, a milo stirrer that minuses the hassle of needing a spoon when you want to get that Oh-too-sweet mixture a little stir?

Or a fish tank that rears fishes? while you’re a little busy? Erhem. For the men, there’s even a goatee saver, that helps stencil out the path to shaving that perfect goatee.

Chopsticks that come with a personalized version of mini-china meets USA? Knife and forks please? Double-sided shoes for people who can’t be stuffed differentiating left and right shoes?

Interesting novelties though. If only we could get our hands on them…

101756_m Since New Year is just about in the midst of finishing off the Lo Hei and food-bingeing. We mustn’t ignore the fact that we’re all stressed out with Ang Pow hunting/ giving, whichever category you fall under.

Just a few of these common ailments include but are not limited to; ‘I’m-running-late-and-my-heel-just-snapped-disorder’, ‘I’m-angry-and-I-don’t-know-why-disorder’ as well as ‘irritating-boyfriend-syndrome’ and ‘she-zilla-attacks’.

Next level oF 3D realism – Xxx Version?

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Just when we thought things cannot get anything dirtier… oh wait, I am guessing a more educated guess would be that we HAVE been thinking about it. Anyway yeah, apparently 3d porn will be making its debut soon.

A couple of Hong Kong film makers are currently remaking an old erotic movie, Sex and Zen into 3D. Just to clarify, it’s not a remake into CG, but more of a film where you have to don 3D glasses.

If anyone is asking "Why?", I’ll leave you with a quote by the producer, Stephen Jiu Jnr, "Just imagine that you’ll be watching it as if you were sitting beside the bed. There will be many close-ups. It will look as if the actresses are only a few centimeters from the audience"

Talk about a new level in "hanging out".

There you have it. We all know how the internet has revolutionize things and affected our lives, so now we know how many people are exactly using it.

It’s the Matrix syndrome I say… Read more about it here.
