The Gravity lamp: obvious metaphor made

We smell a Viagra or Cialis ad in here somewhere (are we spelling those right, we keep getting emails for Vi4gr4 and Ci4lis), but Front has a concept design for a new lamp called the Gravity that goes totally soft when you're not in the room and then when you walk in automatically wakes up, gets upright, and starts illuminating your world.

If my lamp stays upright for longer than 4 hours, should I call a doctor?

Is that a lamp in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Reminds me of Pixar's Luxor Jr. Also looks like something Claes Oldenburg would've done, but shrunken to 1/10th of the size.
