This is what I imagine would happen if your Goldfish died from obesity and got stuck as you tried to flush it town the shower drain. Stuck like Winnie the Pooh’s fat ass in his window. Stuck like my junk in a beer bottle. Don’t ask, please.
And please, let me just assure you, this appears to be much more comfortable to use than the fishy butt plug. At least that’s what I hear. *wink* *wink*
I can understand poverty. I’m a two-bit blogger who lives in public housing. But what I can’t understand is why a woman with so many children that she apparently “didn’t know what to do” with all of them, would live in a damn shoe. Couldn’t she find something that was a little less likely to cause her children to get athlete’s foot on their face?
As usual, I digress. The Shoe Bathtub, designed by SICIS, is pretty much where you’d imagine that same old woman would live if she happened to be a water-borne protozoa. This is the sort of bath that just screams tact and class. That is, if you happen to live on Sex and the City Island. More vomit-inducing glitz after the jump.
There’s no better place to sing than in the shower. The problem lies in bringing your stereo into the bathtub without shocking the life out of you. Electronics and water usually don’t mix, unless it’s some sort of fish robot. That’s why a shampoo shaped FM Radio is a clutch utility to have when in the shower.
OK, so it’s not the satellite radio you were hoping for, but it’ll still blast some tunes for you to sing along with while you clean yourself of the grime you attracted during last night’s mud wrestling match. No price listed on it, however it does take three AAA batteries to operate. The most disappointing factor of all is that it doesn’t store real shampoo in it. It’s all radio, like WHYY.
I’m a firm believer in keeping all electronics away from water that I happen to be submerged in. Call me crazy, I just happen to much prefer the scent of lathered soap to the singeing of my own flesh. Don’t give me that “Well, Andrew, technically the gadget has to be plugged into a socket in order to deal a lethal dose of electricity.” This blogger is living on the safe side.
For all of you bathtub thrill seekers, Firebox offers an Underwater Disco Lightshow, which turns your tub into a tackier version of Saturday Night Fever. Battery powered and 100% waterproof (so they say,) all you have to do is strap your iPod into the waterproof enclosure and let the Lightshow do the rest. My iPod is going no where near the bottem of my bathtub. — Andrew Dobrow
Victor-JVC Japan is introducing a new MP3 player to their “health and healing” line of products, what’s so unconventional about this funny looking audio player is that it actually floats in your tub and plays music right next to your rubber duck duck. Wouldn’t water get into those holes? Good question, and Victor-JVC has it solved by using a NXT flat-panel speaker technology with water proof capability up to IPX7 standard; the down side would be that the MP3 player only has a mono-channel output as opposed to stereo conventionally.
This device weighs 260g and measures 12cm in diameter and 8.7cm in height. It runs on AA alkaline batteries, plays MP3 and WMA including those protected by DRM, however the internal memory is merely 256MB. This MP3 player is available now in Japan at $170, the first batch is limited to 1000 units only, be quick. –Sam Chan
