gPod | hits the spot
There's jPod, and now there's gPod...and Apple's not too happy about it, not one bit. Why? Because the gPod is -- wait for it -- a vibrator (referred to as an "iVibrator"!). The name itself is tongue-in-cheek: a triple pun on iPod, G-spot, and the Japanese word for masturbation, jii.
The gPod, which retails for $243 (but only in Japan right now) has 3 independent motors designed to respond to any audio input, such as music from an iPod or a human voice on a cellphone. The inventor, Ichiro Kameda, says the gPod is perfect for long-distance relationships...Kameda suggests hooking the gPod to your cellphone to speak to your honey in New York while you're in Tokyo.
Oh yeah, and Kameda also states the gPod is universal too -- even women who have disabilities that prevent them from manipulating a regular vibrator can use the gPod. Um, how generous...
PS: Wait til you read the English translation of the gPod website from the Japanese...it can make anyone's day. Enjoy! (Go here and then click on the "english" tab at the top right).
