One of the most annoying things in the city is the population's ostentatious use of cell phones. If you are one of the many Chicagoans that rely on public transportation to get to work and back home, you might find yourself trapped in an overfilled bus at rush hour. You will be surrounded by passengers that are engaged in some mobile phone activity or other, the most annoying one of them all being the (un)usually loud private phone conversation. and now you will probably wonder what this all has to do with the VibraExciter, a new and unique product that enables you to send and receive pleasure, through your mobile phone in a very discrete way.
The VibraExciter is a little bullet-shaped object that you put... well, we won't say in case there are children present, but we're sure you can figure it out for yourself. A silver unit is then attached to your belt and picks up the signal from your mobile phone. Whenever someone rings or texts you the bullet vibrates along with it, and continues to do so for another 20-30 seconds.
While reading over the product's description I found out that the VibraExciter is activated every time you receive or make a phone call and every time you receive or send an SMS, but when I came across the following paragraph, I just couldn't help imagining the overcrowded bus at rush hour.Will anything else activate it?
"If close to other [mobile phones], they could activate the device. Depending on how you choose to have fun this can be a good or bad thing. Choose the right place to use it."So while we are approaching the era of total mobile communication, I am convinced that the VibraExciter could make any ride on a crowded bus a lot more enjoyable.
Ok, ok, we knowwe promise no more vibrators, but this tech-relatedright?
