DUBLIN (AFP) – When world leaders in Copenhagen argue for days in knife-edge talks to save the planet, what more fitting way to relieve the tension than an environmentally-friendly vibrator?
The global sex toy industry is worth an annual 15 billion dollars (22 billion euros), and uses up a mountain of batteries in the process, many of which end up as toxic waste.
But now one Irish company reckons they've got the solution to shake up the market: a vibrator they are calling the world's first-ever "green technology sex toy".
The Earth Angel, described as "eight inches (20 centimetres) with a sleek white finish", is a wind-up vibrator which comes with a handle built into the bottom.
Wow...how...pre-victorian...and now it includes a cardio workout!
On the other hand, I wonder how many buyers will complain about the short 30 minute useful "charge"?
And what the fuck happens if the spring breaks from over-winding?

You get a sly smile and a knowing look from the warranty department.

Make it in brass with visible cogs for the Steam-Punk crowd.

There's already a steam-powered vibrator for this that has been presented elsewhere on this board.
This would be clock-punk. They should be made from sterling silver or gold, with fancy engraving and a glass-window to see the gubbins in inside. And come with a teak box with bright brass furnishings and a rich felt lining, a little slot for the winding key and a plaque with the makers name and serial number on the front, like old ship chronometers.
I cannot actually believe I'm spending this much time thinking about a women's sex-toy.

What the hell? Why are the euros a higher figure than the dollars? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

No wonder I've been feeling so useless lately. We men now serve no purpose, apart from lawn and vehicle maintenance.
DAMMIT WOMEN!
JUST LET US HELP OUT, ONCE IN A WHILE!
We're eager to learn how to do it better...

Yap. Pretty much exactly. Some yahoo apparently just assumes this is 1965 and the dollar is beat only by the pound sterling.
