    This is a recall waiting to happen.

    'This product is undergoing a voluntary recall due to a manufacturing defect causing these garments to spontaniously burst into flame'. #usbbreastheatingpads

    I didnt know this is a problem. How awkward would it be walking up to a co-worker and asking them for some help in another room. "One second I have to disconnect." *unplugs boob from computer* #usbbreastheatingpads

    I have to go to Japan, I have to understand this crazyness. The Japanese people here in Brazil are not this crazy, heck I'm half Japanese myself and I don't have this gene. I guess it's nurture not nature. Either way I'd love to be around such ridiculousness for a while.

    I wonder what I can do in Japan for work, I'm a writer but I don't think I can do much of that in Japan being that I only speak like 10 words of Japanese. Any Giz peeps in Japan that can confirm that it's worth it before I go saving up to spend a year in Japan? #usbbreastheatingpads

    @Digo: Depends on what you want to do.

    I've lived in Japan for 3+ years now and find that most of the foreigners I meet are in the ESL industry. Whether you work in the public or private sector, it's a pretty simple gig: you get paid around 30 grand a year to bullshit in English for a living, and the only qualifications required are a BA and native fluency.

    Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions :) #usbbreastheatingpads

    @Digo: At the moment central Japan, Gifu-shi, Gifu-ken to be specific. Kind of located in the middle of nowhere, but I did live in Tokyo for a year when I studied abroad.

    Personally I think somewhere in between like a Tokyo suburb or a small(er) city like Nagoya is ideal, but I guess I can't complain. #usbbreastheatingpads

    I totally understand the product, it is nearly impossible to keep your cool and not stare at the nipples of your female coworkers, or stop your self from taking action.

    In some job descriptions, pointy stationary is an accident waiting to happen.

    If this thing worked by drilling a hole in your forehead and screwing it in, I'd be tempted. But sticking out of one ear? Might as well have a sign on your back that says "hit me."
