From the Ninemsn news website, Saturday, March 6, 2010. (Click here to read article)The first tag they used as a link to the main story was bad enough:
"Suspicious sounds: Woman calls police over vibrator." They then compounded the error with the news item's heading:
"German police summoned over vibrator."
Ahh! those fun-loving, liberal-minded Germans. Trust them to come up with a unique design for an everyday communications device. Brings to mind a whole set of images, doesn't it?
But there are some things I'm a bit unsure about: Which end do you talk into? Which end do you put to your ear? Does it have a dial? or a push-button console, and - again- at which end?
Which brings me to another question. What will the ring tone sound like? Kids might be a bit reluctant to answer it, worried they might be interrupting something.
There's also a possibility of those people who choose to own this device being somewhat socially isolated. A whole new set of signs, forbidding their operation in certain public areas, will have to be organised. In church: "For the comfort of other churchgoers, please refrain from using your vibrator." At the movies: "Please turn off your vibrator so others can enjoy the movie." At a hospital: "Use of vibrators in the Intensive Care Unit strictly forbidden!" Also, you wouldn't be able to take it with you if you were going to paricipate in a sex party. Imagine the confusion if it started to ring.
So, what was the thinking behind creating this device?
I have a couple of ideas.
Firstly; it was created for undercover vice agents who may need to infiltrate illegal brothels. Obviously they would require a handy tool that enabled them to maintain contact with headquarters, without it attracting undue attention.
Secondly; it was the brainchild of some poor husband who was sick of the huge phone bills constantly being run up by his wife. By coming up with this design, wife took one look at it and said, "I'm not putting that thing anywhere near my mouth!"
Puts a whole new slant on, "I'll give you a buzz tomorrow." doesn't it?

Hahaha! Aw, Crookedpaw! You have a knack for tickling the heck out of me!
This reminded me of a newspaper article a friend sent me…
‘A woman collapsed in a supermarket when her vibrating panties made her faint with pleasure. (damn…)
The kinky 33 year old housewife was wearing a pair of battery operated Passion Pants (where do you store the battery, Kazza wonders...) while she did her shopping. … But she got so stimulated by the 6cm vibrating bullet (damn...)in the panties that she lost consciousness (damn!). She fell and hit her head in the middle of the crowded supermarket… When paramedics arrived, they found her black imitation leather knickers still buzzing. (snicker... gawd, the humiliation!) They took them off before an ambulance took her to hospital. The woman suffered no long-lasting ill-effects (au contraire!)…a paramedic gave her back the Passion Pants in a plastic bag (completely straight-faced, too, I'll bet!). A spokesman for the supermarket… told the Sun ‘We like to think shopping with us is exciting enough already.’
(Ya gotta love the spokeman, ay? Always ready to make a plug for the business!)
Hehehe. I gotta get me one of them! (German phones, of course! Yes... German phones!)
P.S. You may need to moderate my previous comment, CP.
Snicker... I'm incorrigible.
