Sep 16 2008Hands-Free Cellphoning Without Bluetooth
This hands-free cellphone holder was designed by Francesca Lanzavecchia and doubles as an excuse to park in handicapped spots. It comes complete with a stretchable rubber skin that fits over it so you can store your phone and cigarettes in there when not in use. Seems pretty freaking impractical. Still, it reminds me of the first time I faked an injury to get some sympathy. You ever tried to cast your own penis before? It isn't easy. I ended up just tying an athletic sock around it and calling it a sling. And you know what? Not a single 'Get Well' card.
Hit the jump for the original model.
Cellphone neck braces aren't the best way to go hands-free [dvice]

There is a distinction between designing something and rigging up something, right?
Is it my 'design' if I just tape the cellphone to my head?

Just another one of those things to show us a glimpse of how retarded we'll all look in the future.
13. Momboelitist - September 16, 2008 3:27 PM
I think we're pretty retarded right now, at least I am.

The best part is it's made of PLASTER! Imagine all the fun decorations and accessories they could sell with it. The "bejeweller" would do wonders for this thing. A few rhinestones, some skulls and flames, maybe a pot leaf or too...what a fashion statement.
What a retard. Don't think mom and dad would be too proud of this...

I can't believe it. The first one is a fake, completely photoshopped, and the second one is a scene out of never back down.
Jeez.

I wonder if you can get them customized. You know, maybe I want it to look like my head is coming out of Michael Phelps asshole?
Hey, you know what? If I'm messed up enough to wear one of these in the first place, might as well make it really offensive right? RIGHT?

wow... now that is a real moron who's been living in the jungles of Vietnam and had no idea there is a thing called a bluetooth ear piece... what a dumb ass... EPIC FAIL AWARD!
22. Momboelitist - September 17, 2008 10:21 AM
That last picture is the ghetto version of a blue tooth earpiece if I'm not mistaken.

Ha. The first one looks like a toilet around the guy's neck. Classy

It's interesting to see that my picture is still circulating. I am actually from South Africa (East London). This idea came about when SA was about to pass a law in 2000 banning drivers talking on cellphones while driving. Since my phone was pretty massed up with rubber band all over, I decided to play around the idea. I still have the phone though I wonder if it still works.
