10 Gadgets You Need For Global Orgasm 2007

Benny Goldman — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:02:00 EST

At 6:08 a.m. GMT on the 22nd, activists Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell hope you will join them in their quest for world peace—by having an orgasm. Yes, the two have organized Global Orgasm 2007 with the hope that through "the largest possible instantaneous surge of human biological, mental and spiritual energy" we can "effect positive change in the energy field of the Earth." Since manual stimulation is so 2006, we've rounded up 10 gadgets that will help you contribute to the cause:

• The Danger Bomb Alarm Clock. This clock is sure to wake you up for the event, because it makes an exploding noise until you figure out how to turn it off. Sure, we could've gone with the Orgasmo, which makes the sound of a female orgasm, but that would probably just put us back in dream land. Besides, the Danger Bomb will serve as a good reminder of your own impending sensory explosion.

Now for the guys, here are some suggestions to get you going:

• A sex doll. For all those do-it-yourselfers (haha! get it?) with time on your hands, build a companion to cuddle with tonight. Make sure to hide it when company is around.

• The Blowjob Machine. If you don't have time to build but still crave the feeling of a robot lover, go with this gadget out of Japan. This thing looks more "vacuum cleaner" than "erotic," so be careful.

• The Rubbot. More mechanical goodness, the Rubbot is the most discreet male sex toy of the bunch. Too bad it's still in beta, because judging by the job it did on that beer bottle you wouldn't have any problem making it to the finish line in time.

• 1-900-Nerd-Girl. So you just can't seem to get *there* without a little dirty talk? How about a little nerdy talk instead? Hearing these ladies talk Star Wars and D&D will have your lightsaber up in no time.

• Condom applicator. If you'll be sharing in the global orgasm with that special someone, you're going to want one of these. Over-population is a major factor in world unrest, so don't make the problem any worse.

Ladies, don't think we forgot about you! We at Giz ~~have heard~~ know that the female orgasm is not a myth, and we couldn't leave you out of the festivites, so for you we present:

• A Vibrator. We have so many to choose from, but we decided to go with Inch Perfect, because it's huge, it precise, and you need to get the job done quickly.

• The Call Me Panties. Stick your cellphone in the Call Me Panties front pocket, put it on vibrate and set your alarm. That way, you'll be on your way to saving the world without leaving your bed.

• Nintendo Wii. How will a Wii help you reach orgasm, you ask? Just ask this woman, she seems to have it down.

And finally, for everyone:

• Open Mouth Ashtray. Phew, after all that hard work, you're probably going to want a cigarette. Nothing says "I just participated in a Global Orgasm" quite like this ashtray.

That should be enough to get you started on your journey to heal the world. With less than 12 hours until the big moment, you better start making plans. I know what I'll be doing at 1:08 AM EST; Hell, I probably would have been doing it anyway. [Global Orgasm, World Clock for 6:08 GMT]

Cigarette Extinguisher Has a Big Mouth (NSFW)

Charlie White — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:40:00 EDT

Oh, for crying out loud. What are those kooky Japanese people going to think of next? Inserting a butt into this innocent gal's mouth? It even sounds wrong. There are so many things here that we don't approve of, we'll just have to make a bulleted list:
• Smoking
• Harlotry
• Improper fantasies
• Nudity
• Porcelain figurines
• Drinking
• Spitting/Swallowing
• Putting out cigarettes in somebody's mouth
Let's hope no Gizmodo readers ever partake of such filth. Look, even her nipples are showing. Somebody, make this $3.23 cigarette-parking device go away. Watch out for the NSFW gallery, where this suckweed-gagging clay-fired strumpet looks even tackier. [Tokyo Mango]

Tar Ashtray Concept Measures Your Dwindling Lifeforce, Smokers

Brian Lam — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 18:15:18 EDT

Anthony Voz, of London, designed this concept ashtray which would measure the ash in its base to guesstimate just how many minutes, days, weeks, and years you shave away with every puff. Could be time to pick up that $200 anti-smoking cigarette. Or lose the preachy friends. Just saying.

Ashcan is an Ashtray for One

Jason Chen — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 17:15:20 EDT

Considerate smokers (har, har) looking for an ashtray to deposit their refuse into can take a look at the ashcan. It's a personal ashtray that's shaped like a cigarette that lets you deposit your ashes inside while at the same time keeping the smoke from bothering others.

The only downside to this is that it costs $2.40 per ashcan, so you'll have to either clean them out afterwards or invest in a lot of ashcans. – Jason Chen

Ashtray Clock Keeps Track of Your Smoking Habits

Travis Hudson — Mon, 07 May 2007 15:20:36 EDT

Time sure does fly when you are tarring over your lungs. The Ashtray Clock is a unique twist on a couple of old products. This clock can actually be used as an ashtray, but once the cigarette butts and ashes start to accumulate it may be a bit hard to count down the minutes until your next fix. Maybe you should just use it as a decorative piece and keep knocking those ashes into your leftover beer cans, you smelly bastard. $35. –Travis Hudson

USB Ashtray Car Honks at Emphysema

Jason Chen — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 20:40:13 EST

If there's one thing the Japanese know how to do, it's make stuff that's shaped like other stuff. Oh, a regular USB ashtray wasn't wacky enough for them, they had to go and make a USB ashtray that's shaped like a little car.

The gadget sucks away your cigarette smoke into a filter, which is presumably replaceable and not too expensive. When you're not using it as an ashtray, it looks like a little car you can give to your kids to play with. Careful that they don't open her up and eat the contents, though, lest you end up with miniature Grey Hulks without the super strength or cool violent tempers. – Jason Chen

Pocket Ashtray

gizmodo.com — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 15:02:22 EST

We're not sure we actually know anyone who would use Chillichilly's Pocket Ashtray, but life in cities would be just that little bit better if smokers paid more attention to where they toss their nasty cigarette butts. No hatin', just telling it like it is.

Phonecard Ashtrays

Travis Hudson — Thu, 15 Sep 2005 09:14:57 EDT

People always say smoking isn t cool, but if you are using one of these ashtrays you are definitely a hipster in my book. Those crafty new age designers over at 366cm designed these trays out of old phonecards.That way when you are dying of lung cancer you can flatten the tray and make one last call before you die. Definitely check out the 366cm website, to see other cool products—like the wastepaper basket made from recycled paper.

Go Get An Ashhole

gizguest — Mon, 01 Aug 2005 00:23:18 EDT

Nothing goes better with salty kettle cooked chips than a good swig of ice cold ash beer. You know, the kind of beer that comes from a bottle that's been used by wasted, ignorant and inconsiderate party people as a designated ashtray. You know, the very bottle you were drinking before you had to leave it unattended to go relieve your bladder.

If that party's hosts would have had the presence of mind to distribute a few of these $8 funnel-like "Ashhole" bottle-top ashtrays from designer Daniel Harper, perhaps I could have been avoided the tasty concoction. Simply snap it on a (preferably empty) beer bottle, and it instantly converts to a handy ashtray. Even the most inebriated of fools will then be able to tell where to ash, and where to drink.

At least, I hope so. -DP
