Japan has lost its tech edge.

Good news for the elderly, clowns, obese tourists, and the very, very lazy: Honda has released a new, motorized unicycle that functions the same way as a Segway. The super light U3-X personal mobility system is perfect for those who are too lazy for the standing that a Segway requires.
Able to cruise at a scorching 3.7 miles per hour, the U3-X also only weighs 22 pounds, so it can be carried if a user wants to experience life like our caveman ancestors, and, you know, walk.

No-no-no.

I beg to differ. Japan has ALWAYS led the world in wacky tech. This just cries out to be the vehicle that they build a game show around.

Of course, the should build a failblog.org version of the product. It should have a cell phone modem, a web cam and an accelerometer built in so it could automatically create an post videos of the hilarious accidents.
