A Bigger Fuller Soap Dispenser

German Shower Radio w/Soap Dispenser (maybe NSFW)
I know, what's the big deal about a shower radio with a soap dispenser built in? Check it out. Or check out the Google Translation, I'm still wondering what an insertable antenna is? And where does the soap come out?
Any chance this could be marketed in the States? Or would the Sex-is-Baaaaaaad people have conniptions? Wouldn't it be worth it to watch?

Eruope uses differnt "radio frequencies" than us, so it would be a differnt model and "dial".

In the future, everything will be shaped like a penis for 15 minutes.

A better translation would be "internal antenna." Not that the product isn't salacious.

I've heard of cock rock, but this is ridiculous.

This looks like a perfect place to mention The Top Five Songs About Penises.

Play them on your German radio and enjoy a double phallic fantasy!

Europe just has the FM stations on the even decimals, (their band may be a bit wider then ours too, but I'm not sure about that) ie 104.7,104.9, etc in the US 104.8, 105.0 in Europe.

Since it seems to be analog tuning, this isn't really relevant, just turn until you get the station you want.

Oh and the Brits call AM MW.

TV on the other hand is actually different and needs converting.

At least I think that's how it works.

And for once the good old "it vibrates" joke is actually pretty relevant. Just the same, I think I'll stick to my non-liquid soap, thanks.

Damn it! I wanted to be the one to crack the "it vibrates" joke..!

Not true.

Last time I checked, I can order all the dildos I want in the United States with little difficulty. In fact, I can even get a butt plug shaped like the baby Jesus or I can make my own (both links completely not safe for work) out of whoever's member I want and then put whatever bizarre electronic devices I desire inside of the damned thing.

I don't mean to be caustic, but really, I think the "Sex-is-Baaaaaaad people" already have a lot bigger problem on their hands (pun definitely intended) with the wide variety of phallic simulacra which are already on the market. Sorry if I'm coming off (see above) as rash, but I just don't get the last part of your post.

Good one, Asparagirl!

Europeans have LW radio, which we don't use. That's the big difference.

We don't have much LW radio, only a handful of stations - FM radios work fine in both the US and Europe.

in different parts of the world the increment from one licenced fm frequency to another changes. as far as i know there are two popular step sizes. many digital fm radios have a little switch to choose between the two (it's inside the battery compartment of my aging sony).

but surely this would be more functional with a buzzer or similar? can't imagine the radio makes it vibrate much. is it just a joke?

isn't it illegal to sell sex toys in texas? i thought there was one state where someone was recently prosecuted - sure it was featured here.

It's not illegal to sell them in Texas as long as they are called "novelties" instead of "vibrators" or what-have-you. See this case, which was indeed discussed here.
