Q: Does it hurt?Hot. Video and controlling machinery found after the break.
A: Yes. Depends on the part, but it's like the stinging of needles. But the worst part is not the pain, some patterns deter my vision, sometimes I cannot breath. The pulse makes me see nonexistent white light, and green stripes.
And you would want to do this why?
Hey Baby, wanna destroy all humans?
Well, if you cant make the bitter beer face under your own power...
Anyone else see accidental musical death in this guys future?
Only if he hooks it up to his junk, wait... was there a link up there for ordering this stuff?
No pain, no gain
The "gain" here being...
...
Wait, why the hell is he doing this again?
I'd guess about -38db.
This is an important lesson for everyone.
If someone ever utters the phrase "It's okay, I'm an ARTIST, I know what I'm doing" then you should exit as quickly as possible. Especially if it involves electrodes and your face.
Better than electrodes on his balls.
That is the exact opposite of Bell's Palsy.
Just imaging him playing DragonForce - Through The Fire And Flames >:)
Insane in da membrane..
It's all clear now. No wonder recent times has seen the proliferation of iPods and other PMPs — it's all part of the master plan of our future robotic overlords to control us meatbags with music!
+1 for the KotoR reference
Yep, the video made me laugh...
Epic.
I'm pretty sure I can do the exact same thing with 'shrooms and a Winamp equalizer visual circa 1998.
Haha, good times......goooood times.....
*stares off into space*
You get a bonus point for the handle.
hmmm... strange. i like it.
I can't help but think that this is a cracked out version of the Juicy Fruit commercial "I learned to speak bee..."
LOL, still cracks me up!
did any one else see this on Gizmodo about a week ago?
No because nobody here reads gizmodo
Looks like I'm going to have nightmares tonight....
MOMMY!!!
I like pointless art. I would try this but it would prolly make my tourettes come back. ( having cured it myself with LSD 15 years ago)
After the initial wtf factor wore off, it made me smile ... in fact it's still got me smiling. =]
He'll win nerd of the year, no question. How can you beat that?
reverse beat box
Reminds me of something from "Fringe".
Yeah, except this is much, much better acted.
This would be perfect for making all those people who can't dance feel the groove.
I zapped myself in much the same way once. I was running a medium power amplifier pushing music out of four speakers and I ran a ground wire out to a pipe. The wire hadn't been stripped at the end, so I put it in my mouth to strip it. When I bit down, with the wire in the back left area of my teeth, I saw whitish bluish shining and experienced weirdly intense pain.
But here's the interesting part: the whitish-bluish that I saw went way, way beyond my normal field of vision. It makes me wonder if we won't in the near future be able to augment our realities with internal displays that harness this extra-FOV space using electrical signals, or just by conditioning the brain to see it. Imagine being able to see context-related images outside your normal field of vision, so any internalized "head-up display" you had would be outside your normal vision area, without disturbing it in the least.
Man, that would be cool. And the shock is how I got the idea.
...
wut?
No, seriously - Now we all know what Dr. Emilio Lizardo was doing.
Were you in on SUPERGOOMAN's tourettes experiment while you did that?
Dan,
What was happening was the electric surge of electrons were racing through the nuerons in your brain behind the optic nerve and just before your 'sight' was interpereted by your brain, but after the retina had received the information and passed it on, giving it an translucent overlay effect.
Its a well known phenomenon.
...
You were hanging a clock at the time, and the shock caused you to slip off of the toilet, hitting your head on the sink, and causing you to come up with the flux capacitor... which makes time travel possible.
Yeah.. Imagine playing "Face Hero III"
Keep your face in shape with these all new Beatox treatments. Coming soon to all music stores near you.
I thought they killed this guy last week on the episode of Prison Break.
No offense really. but it looks like with every beep a massive shot is pierced up his back.
I love that song. We danced to it at my wedding.
HAHA! It's like what Eddie Murphy did to Morgan Fairchild in "Holy Man" only he's electrocuting himself to the beat.
Dude should really try dancing, instead.

Have fun.
haha! someone actually made a parody on it!!! I wondered if this would happen to daito!

This could be a very good "enhanced interrogation" tactic... I'm gonna go talk to my supervisor.
