You Don’t Need Friends To Limbo

Filed under: Design, Misc. Gadgets

Are you the kind of person who loves to limbo to the Macarena but never has any friends willing to hold the bar up for you? Whether that’s the case or you just don’t have any friends period, there is a solution. This limbo device is activated with the touch of a button that has multi-colored strings creating a fluorescent arch that challenges you to lean backwards and dance through. You’ll never want to play with that boring stick ever again.

No friends and no stereo system, either? You’re one sad soul, but that’s alright because Limbo String comes with its very own limbo music to get your ass shaking to the floor. For $45 bucks, it’ll bring more life to your lonely Saturday nights than any Sarah Jessica Parker blow up doll ever could.

NYU Student Makes 2-D Girlfriend to Cure Loneliness

inbedimg

In more depressing news, nerdy engineer Drew Burrows has created a 2-D virtual image projected from the ceiling to your bedsheets called: INBED. Reminiscent of the virtual guard dog, this 2-D image interacts via “infrared sensitive” light, making it respond to various actions you’d do to a loved one while laying in the sack. Except for sex.

As for satisfying those not-so-innocent late-night desires, this lady adheres to her role as steady girlfriend. Give her a kiss on the cheek and she rolls over and buries her face in the pillow. And yes, she stays fully clothed at all times.

I’m still going to hump the mattress like it’s my job.

If you ever thought that being lonely was the worst possible feeling, think again. The Lonely Jacket makes sure that instead of being lonely, you have people literally right on top of you. We all walk through the day bumping into people and not uttering a word. We can use our clothing as a social tool, rather than the conformists way to do it, through services such as MySpace. This is the really physical MySpace.

Designed by Aamu Song and Johan Olin, the jacket is made of Velcro strips that have been sewn back to back to create alternating hook and pile stripes. When the material grabs on to another person wearing the Lonely Jacket, sticking together in a style enhanced harmony. Also serves as a nice alternative to putting your kid on a leash. (more…)
