Subtle Butt Gas Neutralizers Kill Farts Dead

Sean Fallon — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:30:14 EST

Last month we came across a patent application for a fart protector, but patent applications wont help that fat guy in the Mexican restaurant when the beans start kicking in. Fortunately, help is on the way in the form of an actual product called Subtle Butt. Like the patent application, Subtle Butt uses activated carbon/charcoal to neutralize noxious fumes. It also features a soft fabric with an antimicrobial treatment for added protection. And the best part is that there is an actual video demonstrating the product. Hilarious. Available for $9.95 in packs of 5. [Product Page via Yes But Not Yes]

Lumiquest Soft Screen Gives Your Pop-Up Flash Shots That Playboy Look

If you don't have an empty cigarette pack around to make an impromptu flash diffuser for your digital SLR, you might be interested in this slightly more refined Lumiquest Soft Screen. The best photographers know that soft light is the most flattering, and it's not exactly easy to obtain when all you have on hand is that crappy pop-up flash atop your camera. The Soft Screen can give you that diffused look in a flash, hooking up to your DSLR's hot shoe for quick shots. When you're done, fold it up into a 4-inch square, fitting easily in your camera bag. Not bad for 9 bucks at Amazon. [Newpro, via Red Ferret]

Keep Noxious Farts at Bay with the Gas Grabber

Oh good lord. Someone has invented a fart protector. After you've eaten the Thanksgiving turkey equivalent of a horse, some of that tryptophan is going to eventually turn into methane, and you're going to need some serious butt protection like this. This patented Gas Grabber anal pad uses activated charcoal to neutralize those toxic fumes, sparing all of your beloved family members from your willful violation of their airspace by your noxious kamikazes. So far, it's just in the patent application stage, so this special mojo filter won't be available this Thanksgiving. Too bad. [Inventor Spot, via UberGizmo]

WTF: USB Injection Needle Scares Mom, Holds a Gig

The USB flash drive has now come full circle, where now it even looks like you can shoot up your data with the Syringe USB Flash Drive. Available in capacities from 128MB to 1GB, it's not hardly voluminous enough to give that warez mule operation of yours a shot in the arm but it might be just big enough for Flat Top to shoot Coca-Cola. I know, I know, the whole thing makes no sense. – Charlie White
