Wierd Technology - What were they thinking?

Once in a while you come across something that lead you to believe that engineers are either crazy or have really strange ideas on humor.

I was looking though a discount shopping site when I ran across the Talking Vibrator. Is there a market for this stuff of is this why it's on clearance?

The fact that they don't actually tell you what phrases it says probably tells you something right there.

The advertisement says "The only vibrator that talks back to you! Just open the box to get him going." What crude wording for directions! I suppose; however, that one must follow that procedure or else the sound will be muffled.

I was disappointed to see that it is the packaging that talks, and not the device itself...

Bummer....batteries for the package, as well as for Ever-Ready Freddy?
Hey, cheer up, it could be the Howard Cosell of packaging.

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!

Gee, the fact that vibes don't talk is usually considered an advantage.

You could put it in the microwave for a few seconds first.

At least it's not a singing vibrator, although if it was, there would be any number of appropriate songs.
