But what fun did anyone ever have spanking sense with a plastic mallet?

Whac-a-Butt is a reinterpretation of the classic, featuring seven butts that must be whacked. With each successful butt hammering (the inclusion of a hammer in this set stinks a bit of anachronism, but then again, this is a game in which butts pop out of little holes to a timer) a slapping noise is made (again, not quite fitting a hammer, but we've never struck a butt with a hammer so who knows what that might sound like).

Whac-a-Butt sells for $22, includes batteries and it is specifically not appropriate for your office's secret Santa gift exchange. [Gobaz via Nerd Approved]

<![CDATA[It is Going to Take a Whole Lot of Thongs to Fight the RIAA]]> If you recall, a jury full of dumbasses recently stuck it to Jammie Thomas to the tune of $222,000 for downloading 24 pirated songs from Kazaa. Now, I don't know about you, but most people can't make this go away by whipping out their checkbook. So what does an average 30 year old single mother of two do to pull together that kind of money? She sells thongs. A whole lot of thongs to be exact. According to Jammie's website, only $16,000 has been collected through private donations to help her fight the charges against her, so it appears that she has resorted to selling "Free Jammie, Free Everyone" branded paraphernalia to help make up the difference. If you would like to help, and pick up a thong, shirt, or mug while you are at it, hit her product website in the link. [Cafepress via Crave]

<![CDATA[Electrolux KaionWave: Waterless Washing Machine]]> The KaionWave is a concept from Electrolux design labs. Only intended for cleaning stain-resistant nanofabrics (which don't exist unless you count those Docker pants), the KaionWave uses ultraviolet-C light that can penetrate fabric to kill viruses and bacteria. Free radical oxygen pumps through the unit, breaking down dirt and skid marks.

We like that all this technology means less chemicals, not so much for the environment, but our tendency to always be out of detergent because we never go to the store. Then we find ourselves in a bind with no clean undies, thinking maybe we can borrow the wife's as long as we avoid urinals for the day. All is well until we unconsciously bend over in the afternoon, revealing a blue sparkle thong to our coworkers. Yeah, this washing machine is pretty much the greatest thing ever.

<![CDATA[ArchPort Sandals, Instead of Pockets]]>

Summer's here, and a lot of the shorts you might be wearing these days don't have any pockets. But you probably still want to carry sufficient bucks around for those inevitable eventualities. Now you can stash anything in these ArchPort sandals, where there's a fitted insert nestled in the arch of each of these pedestrian-looking flip-flops.

Hide your valuables in there, and no one's the wiser, not even the bad guys. Except of course, if they read Gizmodo (but reliable sources tell us there are no bad guys reading Gizmodo). ArchPorts are available in small, medium or large, and in your choice of blue, black or brown, for $44.95.

<![CDATA[Dogone Dog Fart Neutralizing Thong]]>

You can stop squinting now, your eyes aren't deceiving you—we really did post a photo of a dog wearing a thong. But not just any dog thong! No, the Dogone thong is the "comfortable and least intrusive means for deodorizing gassy discharges", and you know you can trust it because it comes from the #1 name in flatulence odor control products.

You can get the Dogone in any of three sizes and they're each $19.99, but if you buy them you'll need very expensive headphones to keep from hearing the neighbors making fun of you and your poor pooch.
