Yves Béhar's seven-hour vibrator
Yves Béhar (who is in an epic struggle with Marc Newson to claim the title of "sexiest industrial designer alive") designed this vibrator. It looks like a Miyazaki cartoon creature.

MJ's funeral cost a mil
Michael Jackson's funeral cost one million dollars. His final outfit cost $35,000, and the flowers cost $16,000. Lord. Obviously I'm no MJ anyhow, but when I die, if there's a mil lying around? Feel free to bury me in nekkid dirt and use the rest to feed pie to starving kids.... More.

Well, well. They've dropped the only defendant who has any defensive resources(consumerist/consumer reports) and continued against the individual soft targets. Nice guys.

Moderator, I think we have a spammer!
(Either that or Ben44 just really likes spreading the word about the Silver and Gold exchange.)
Brainspore,
That it's not his first comment; just the first one under that user name.
OK, maybe a false alarm... but kind of weird that he (or someone sharing his username) seems to travel the internet posting glowing reviews of that company.
