If these images do not tell you what it is, go to the site for clarification.
This has GOT to be a practical joke. Someone please tell me it is. I know it looks real, I know they have ordering information, and I know that the site is registered to a person in Amsterdam (home of deviants and Coldfire… Oops! Redundant! :D), but this has got to be a joke to see how many people sign up and the goofy e-mails they get.
That’s just *peachy Satan. I can’t see the pictures and I got a cyber patrol hit for browsing the link at work. I can hear the jack booted thugs outside my cubicle now. It’s too late for me but La Resistance lives on.
It’s a joke. I’ve seen that site before, but I can’t remember where I saw the link. I remember reading the disclaimer somewhere. Let me see if I can find out something.

I can’t believe me, Mr. Straight-laced Orthodox Jew, is the first one responding to this message, but I believe it is real. In one of the more recent issues of NYPress (the free NY weekly that distrivutes the Straight Dope), George Tabb wrote an article about such so-called “cyber-dildonics” devices, and darned if this doesn’t sound like what he described. (Unfortunately, that article does not appear to be available in the NYPress’s on-line archives, but you’re welcome to search for yourself if you want to… http://www.nypress.com .)Unless he was taken in by a joke as well, I think it’s safe to say it’s for real.
“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”

Just what is it that you think this thing would do that a ordinary non cyber appliance would not?
And, if you were to design a device for this purpose, would’t a few feet of cord, and an USB adapter make a lot of sense? Let’s not talk about uncontrolled release of potentially electrolytic material into the console, but really, think a bit.
It’s an elaborate gag, with the benefit that it will pay for itself even if you only sell the email addresses of the prize sucker consumers of all time that it develops. Tris
Imagine my signature begins five spaces to the right of center.
Well I had to find out if this was real so I made up a fake email at Hotmail and tried to place and order and I got this:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@fufme.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may
have caused the error.
Premature end of script headers: /w1/fufm/cgi-bin/bnbform.cgi
So… I am gonna try later tonight and see if it happens again. I figured that if the order went through then I would recieve an email that said it was all a joke, but regardless, I am going to get to the bottom of this and get the STRAIGHT DOPE!

Hmmmm…a sig line…what to write, what to write…screw it.
Mock if you must, but they are self-evidently superior to the early diesel models.
