Jan 7 2009ZOMG: New Toy Teaches You How To Wield 'The Force' Using Brainwaves Or Something

Oh yeah, a toy that teaches you how to utilize 'The Force'. You know, from Star Wars.

The Force Trainer (expected to be priced at $90 to $100) comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower, analogous to Yoda and Luke Skywalker's abilities in the Star Wars films.

First of all, being able to manipulate a ping pong ball IS IN NOT WAY analogous to Yoda and Luke Skywalker's abilities -- those dudes could throw freaking spaceships around.

A state of deep concentration is needed to achieve a Force-full effect. "When you concentrate, it activates the training remote," says Frank Adler of toymaker Uncle Milton Industries, which is creating the Trainer. "There is a flow of air that will move the (ball). You can actually feel like you are in a zone."

Deep concentration....in a zone....hmmm, that sounds familiar. Of course -- Skee-ball!

Thanks to Menchi, who promises to teach me The Force just as soon as she masters it.

crab people

I'm gonna start training my wife tonight. She will use intense concentration to move my balls...up the tube....

let the force be with you?

More F-ing kids!? (short bastards)

I can see 2 good uses for that thing besides giving it to some kid to test any telekinetic possibilities they might possess

FAIL!! Who the hell cares?

This is exactly like that time when Yoda taught the sandpeople how to use their feeble minds to move the sand off their front porches. They eventually mastered it to the point that they could even clear off the dead bodies. They turned to the dark side and figured out how to raise ping pong balls.

With their newfound power of ping pong ball mastery, they managed to slip in a rogue sandperson at the intergalactic powerball drawing where they used their mastery of the force to make sure they got all the winning pinp pong balls drawn. With all the cash they won, they purchased new landspeeders and gradually created a multi-billion dollar ponzi scheme selling household service robots to unsuspecting owners. They got busted by the jedi's and were all jailed for their misuse of the force.

How many Daisy imitators are there? Does anyone even read the spam artist ones? Who's ever even heard of tender dracula anyways, it sounds about as ghey as moulin rouge

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max is going to get married so he goes to wine country with the commissioner of baseball and plays golf, gets drunk, and screws like a rabbit.

Trying to copy Daisy is so annoying. You guys look like idiots and it's not very funny like what you're trying to be.

I know a "Dancer" in West Va that can already do this ...

Wait... All this does is make a ball float up and down? You can't throw the ball, or make girls panties fall off? And they are asking for $90 for this piece of crap?

Call me when they get it to work with porn somehow...

The kid's outstretched fingers are actually depicting the size of the GW's penis while erect. Ahhh I'm just kidding, it's half that size.

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

May the force be with you!

Hear that? It's the sound of a million parents crying out.

I would love to fit that tube in my asshole. That ball bopping my prostate and the air blowing inside me would make me nutt a gallon!

FAKE!!!!

This is as fake as they come, the shadows are all wrong.

This is just like a scene in the movie Tender Dracula. Dracula is out mowing the lawn when he picks up some tape reel from an early eighties cassette tape which wraps itself around the lawn mower axle.

Dracula makes sure he takes out the spark plug before he checks under the blade, as he remembers what happened to the foot of his resurrected man-servant when he was being careless with an axe.

Did anyone else notice that it's made by Uncle Milton Industries? Uncle MIltie is making me laugh from the grave!

One step closer to teledildonics

"IS IN NOT WAY"

I think you added a letter there that shouldn't be, GW.

its only a matter of time now before we get mind activated detonators.....personally, i plan on getting one for the sole purpose of extracting the responders from the unit and wiring them into something else........ like a remote control or a dildo or something....then i can really give my woman a good mind f***

Taj: What are you doing man..?

Hutch: I can't figure out how to get this thing lit...

Taj: Lit!?! ....that's no bong, it's for my schlong!!!

@20
we shud talk ;D

I wonder what this thing would do when your watching porn?

It'd probably sit there and watch it with you, what would you expect it to do.... suckie-suckie??

I'd take that shit and smash it. I got the force in my pants, fool.

I think we can all agree this is a pretty weak reproduction of the force from Star Wars. However, I would like to point out that it is a blatant rip off of the device seen in Forbidden Planet. Seriously my fellow geeks, look it up. If you have seen it, then you know to prepare to be eaten by giant, invisible, manifestations of our id. That is, unless Leslie Nielsen deems to save us.

Is that Harry Potter using it?

I wonder if it comes with a little packet of Midi-chlorians to mix with warm water like sea monkeys?

The Jedi are extinct, their power has gone out of the universe. [Your toy] my friend is all that's left of their religion.

LAST!
