Telco-powered vibrator

Okay, now here's a decent product for women. And it's probably the very best customer service you can ever hope to get from your phone company. Ironically, this vibrator (it glows in the dark!) is a good excuse not to get naked.

From their site,

Should you wish to cancel your order, or if the products should prove to be on backorder or unavailable for more than twelve months, we will cancel your order and refund half of the monies paid."

A 50% refund if they can't ship within 12 months?

This smells of a scam/joke to me. Why on earth would they be talking about a "Chernobyl Electrical Institute" and the "Director General of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant" when noone can even get close to Chernobyl?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 1:21AM]

Well...people can get close to Chernobyl...the plant is still in operation complete with a staff. But, I've never heard of the "Chernobyl Electrical Institute"

When you look at the other products it looks like a picture with a teljack photoshopped in...definitly a scam...

Is this USB 2.0 compatible? ;D

What a joke. Joke of a company, too. How big was that paycheck, Engadget? Enough to pay rent on your pad for all of five minutes?

The editors here have really lowered their standards for gadget news.

Personally I thought it was funny #9 and #10. Don't be assclowns. I would love to see more funny strange news like this.

#11: actually, the chernobyl power plan was shut down in 2000.
