Aug 29 2007Game Offers Chance at First Kiss
For those of you out there that have yet to make it to first base, it might not be too late. Toys4Me is releasing Electronic Spin the Bottle, because, uh, analog bottles are stupid and will not get you laid. The damn thing costs $34, which is ridiculous to pay for something I have a ton of in the recycling bin. It does take me back though. Sitting in a circle, watching the bottle slow down, praying it lands on Suzy, the 4th grader of my dreams. Then having it go too far and making out with my sister for a half hour. God, I think I just puked in my mouth a little.

unless this shit can automatically peer pressure someone into doing something they normally wouldn't, it's no better than a regular bottle. unless it vibrates

"which is ridiculous to pay for something I have a ton of in the recycling bin"
...it really is! What a lame idea. Next thing they'll invent will be, who knows, an electronic deck of cards. No! Wait! That already exists!

In England this has been out for at least 10 years.

This has been out in America for at least 10 years, as well. I bought one for my girlfriend (yes, she was real and she knew that she was my girlfriend) at the time from the discount section at Target about five years ago. It's embarassingly wholesome, unless you pretend that when it's telling you to do a silly dance, that's innuendo code for "HJ everybody in the room".

Why are we always the last ones to get crap? Everytime there's a post about some new stupid invention people start commenting how the rest of the world's had it for ages. Lucky bastards.

I'd totally make out with your sister, if she had this tied around her neck!

I wonder if any part of the game involves sticking this in your ass?
