USB Pole Dancer V2 Performs As You Type

Jason Chen — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:00:00 EDT

Not only is this second generation USB Pole Dancer actually worse looking than the first, you actually have to DO SOMETHING to make it perform. The anime-like eyes really makes this version much, much more creepy than the first, as if child labor laws don't apply to the plastic USB world. Nevertheless, $22 makes her/it yours.

Finnish Spitzer Sends 200 Sex SMS to Exotic Dancer and Her Sister

Jack Loftus — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 14:00:00 EDT

An SMS-savvy Finnish Foreign Minister has joined former New York governor Eliot Spitzer in the "thinks with the wrong head" club this week. The 60-year-old Ilkka Kanerva was discovered to have sent more than 200 text messages to an exotic dancer named Johanna Tukiainen, 29. And her sister! Despite the fact that Kanerva's longtime parter said she's not bothered by her man's wandering eyes (or should that be fingers?), people are still calling for a resignation. More below.

The Finnish press got a hold of a few text gems sent by the minister, including this vague pick up line that may or may not be related to musical waterbeds: "Would you like to do it in an exotic place? Where could it be?" When asked if 'it' meant sex, Kanerva said it was obvious that the message was an answer to an earlier inquiry from Tukiainen.

We at Gizmodo are inclined to believe the minister; he was probably referring to their upcoming coffeehouse debate about the subtle differences between the Centre Party of Finland and the more even-handed (although no less capable) approach to governing taken by the National Coalition Party. Or maybe he was just trying to get laid with the exotic dancer, and her sister. We think her name's Debra.

USB Pole Dancer: On Video, It's an Even Worse Idea

www.gizmodo.com — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 10:23:56 EST

Remember that terrible USB pole dancer that we found after it was pulled from the store that was selling it, only for it to be put back on the market for an inflated price? Those of you waiting for yours to get shipped, here's a taste of what you're in for. The ladies over at Shiny Shiny got their hands on one and created this video of it in action, relatively speaking.

It's safe to say that anyone who actually spent $55 on this sad excuse for a gadget should be feeling a combo of buyers remorse and deep, deep shame right now. Don't blame us, chumps. –Adam Frucci

USB Pole Dancer Available For Pre-order

Jason Chen — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 21:30:25 EST

Remember when we showed you the USB Pole Dancer that was notable because it got ass-canned from Marks & Spencer? It's actually available now online from Boys Stuff over in the UK. Thanks to the notoriety, Boys Stuff can charge £29.95 ($53) instead of the original £19.50.

In any case, you can order the 8-inch gyrating sex-machine with an expected delivery date of 12/20, which is just in time for wrapping to give to old grandma WesterChesterShireTonAbbyBurrHam for Christmas.

USB Pole Dancer

Could this be the ultimate USB-powered gadget that tops every other USB device we've ever seen? Yes, if it were still on sale. Apparently schoolmarms are alive and well in the UK, as local store Marks & Spencer had to can the product just a week after it went on sale.

While she was still alive, the 8-inch pole dancer spun around as music played, and would "entertain you at any time of the day or night." Now, this is the result of a search at M&S's online store:

You searched for "pole dancer", more results were found under "polo dancer"

Nooooooo! – Jason Chen
