Are you an overwhelming fat ass that just can’t shred those pounds because going to the gym is another chore on your list of things you won’t do?  Well, your prayers have been answered! The Vibro Shape slimming belt is said to rid you of your beer-belly in favor of some sexy washboard abs. The belt can also be used on the shoulders, hips, and thighs for a full body workout and a safe auto timer will turn the unit off after 15 minutes to prevent the heat from burning more than just your fat.

A $26 belt that “melts” your fat away with vibration and heat is every couch potato’s dream. Nerds will certainly be in dire need of one of these when Wrath of the Lich King hits store shelves. It’s a damn shame vibrating weight-loss equipment like these never work, otherwise they’d have a heftier price tag.

Japanese glasses makers Vision Megane, display another great and kinda scary Japanese invention. Customers now have the option of adding a small vibrating device to the frames.

The idea itself is a decent one. When your head tilts forward, the glasses take that motion to mean that you are losing focus. The sensor sits right behind the ear so that the vibration gives your head a substantial enough jolt to wake you out of your stupor.

The thought of these things being used as a Clockwork Orange-esque torture device is rather eerie. And I have to ask, what happens if you have to look down to write notes. Does it still shock you? (more…)
