I honestly couldn't understand why this made the "10 worst jobs in science" list but then I didn't realize it was basically dancing with a semi-responsive giant yello dildo.

When engineer's encounter art, it's always awkward. But who knew it could be this awkward?

Mommy? Why is the lady dancing with the giant penis?

Yeah, I think we all know which industry will be the first to enthusiastically adopt this new "sensitive skin" technology...

This is really familiar. Wasn't this on BoingBoing just a couple weeks ago?

Oh yeah! Here it is!

What's your point, Jon-o? Things get posted on BoingBoing and then re-posted here frequently, you may have read one or two MetaTalk threads about the subject...

jonson,

It's also a double post as buzzv points out above.

I just had a co-worker walk by, look at my screen, give me a "What the hell are you watching, pervert?" face, and then walk off.

Thanks!

That needed a NSFWILKW (NSFW in a ludicrous kind of way) tag! I thought I was going to bust out laughing and attract attention from the children in the media center. And then I'd have to try to explain why I thought it was funny...
