It's hard to pinpoint the most ridiculous thing about the
Urban Tool perCushion which we first peeped as
a concept. Is it the vendor's not so flattering name, the marketing shot above, or the fact that Urban Tool will be charging about $500 for their Bluetooth mono-speaker cushion when it begins shipping sometime between October and Christmas? We had the chance to try the perCushion out at CeBIT ourselves. The pillow itself is rigid -- think martini lounging, not bedtime -- and constructed with enough finesse to support your Bluetooth audio streaming or cellphone handsfree adventures in sloth. In its defense, Urban Tool knows that the perCushion is destined to be nothing more than a novelty product at that price range. It's simply meant to bring attention to the rest of its product catalog. Still, we're not sure
this is the type of attention they wanted.

nice invention, so anyone with a bluetooth mobile can send farting mp3's to your cushion?
Should be a big hit with the ladies.....
"Airport security at Boston's Logan Airport arrested a man today thought to have an explosive device hidden in his pillow. When we questioned police they responded with, "It was not in fact a bomb, just an Urban Tool™." It is not known at this time if the comment referred to the pillow, or the man. Back to you Jim."
nice article
And you certainly will look like a tool using this.
Pap
wow, that looks like the biggest failure of bluetooth usage. it's really not that hard to get stereo. i wonder how fun replacing the batteries on that thing would be.
What the HELL is that guy doing to that poor pillow?
I think he's trying to play air guitar...
Either that or he's REALLY lonely...
I think he is humping it. The look on his face gives it away.
Hehehe... 'tool.' $500 for that? At least they know their target demographic (tools).
Two words, PHONE SEX!!!!
somebody known other site that the urbantool store ? i was looking in ebay or amazon they hiphosler bag
you would have to be an URBAN TOOL to own one.
that's what it says. up there. in the title. the first part you read.
ok, my bad.
My gods! 500 bucks for that?! At first I thought, "hey, that's a good idea. Make speaker pillows with bluetooth." But, damn... 500 bucks? You can buy corded speaker pillows for like 10-20 bucks. Also the pillow doesn't look ergonomic at all. And that picture is ridiculous.
That man gonna make sweet love to that pillow. Mmmhmm. He will buy it the best dinner imaginable. Corn will be served. Then he will lay it down on the bed, which is covered with the softest rose petals and splashed with the most exotic fragances, and he will hit that. He will hit it good.
He really cares for his baby.
Seems a bit over the top. I got one of these for £20 :: www.soundasleeppillow.co.uk.
Ok so it's got a wire, but it's still ace
