Feb 9 2009Make Calls In Private With The Isophone

isophone-1.jpg

The Isophone may like a giant waterbug banging your brain, but it's actually a device designed to provide uninterrupted peace and quiet while you're making phone calls.

The Isophone is essentially a telecommunications device providing a service that can be described simply as a meeting of the telephone and the floatation tank. The user wears a helmet that blocks out all peripheral sensory distraction whilst keeping the head above the surface of the water... a space is created for providing a pure, distraction free environment for making a telephone call.

I need one. Like yesterday. Ooh, and a pool. This bathtub just isn't cutting it anymore. *knocking* Damnit -- SHUT UP MOM I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE! What's that? Fish sticks for dinner? Hot damn, I'll be out in a sec!

Hit the jump for several more shots of this chick using the device.

First. I love the weirdness of this website

Lol, I only read the articals, AFTER I get first.


And second, or maybe third if somebody else posts before I refresh again...

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 int he movie Never Back Down where Max asks his grandmother whats for dinner and she tells him to make himself a dang quesedilla.

My god. Daisy can you please take money and buy a life because you re pathetic, every single day for two years you put the exactly message every day. Dont put or you can change the name of the movie. Who the hell know the Movie "Never Back Down".

Daisy, don't ever stop. Diechuz can Die.

daisy ive made you something similar to this - if u wudnt mind trying it out...
yep yep u pop ur head in there and get in the pool. good girl. in ya go..
*SPLASH!*
*contraption clamps down on daisys neck and decapitates her*

is it for making out?

Wow, this gimmic is almost...almost as good as "the cone of silence" in the Get Smart TV show and Movie

ok ok my mom just read what i wrote and im in deep shit.
sorry daisy i didnt mean that

I like Ryan idea

uhhh what?

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that horrible move "Domino". I feel I would be doing myself, and all you loyal readers, an injustice if I quoted that horrible movie. So no movie quotes from Domino on this post.

Your welcome.

*You're*

This already exists, it's apparent with teenage girls texting while crossing the intersection! They completely block out everything else...including that bus.

Oh yeah, and that chick has nice boobs...

@4

LOL

Truf. Bitch is annoying and does not understand grammar.

If you're paranoid enough to buy one of these aren't you paranoid enough to know that the government designed these so they can market them to people with enough money to be doing something considerably wrong?

they look like dead, tanless people. Mostly dead....... but they can't hear me, so....

Is the phone peepee resistant?

I don't think I'd use it, sometimes I like to combine tasks and pinch a loaf while talking on the phone.

WTF!? that has to be the most useless piece of crap ever made.

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.

I wonder if you say the f-word in that contraption- do you get a message from GW that says he's sorry you're not allowed to speak with profanity because someone may get offended?

that wont stop the aliens

This could be used for some extreme marco polo!

Device = Dumb as hell

Girl = (makes sure g/f isn't standing behind him) I'd hit it

Great! I've seen everything now, so I can die happy. Who would need THAT kind of privacy in his own home, is beyond me, but, I have to admit it, it's a good idea to use them in the swimming pool, 'cause you're sure as hell not going to notice if your house is on fire.

@4 Die!
@5 <3

@14 Hehe so true...

Nice!

O god I would so love one of these. Not for a phone but to put my poop because I like to take dumps in the pool (don't have to wipe, saves on toilet paper) but I don't like cleaning it up.

How much and where do I buy!

I don't get it. So if you want to make a phone call without any distractions you're supposed to go to all the trouble of finding a swimming pool, getting changed (optional obviously), putting this thing on and jumping in? What the hell happened to finding a quiet room and turning off the lights?

SLLOOOKS Liek I A BNUCH of keggerss ON their hwEADS FROM the movie COCOONN with aLL the SIVLERHEAD GRannYS anAD GRAMPYS!1!!1

This is the dumbest gadget I've ever seen.

@30 I'm glad you're in the evenings to share those thoughts, it's all so clear now...

@31: 2nd dumbest...right behind the iphone.

...glad you're ONLINE in the evenings.... I blame those evening bong hits for that one

Word?

But can we use it in the ocean? If so, is it gonna attract sharks and jellyfish?

Nice separation.

@29, I'm with you. I hope this is a joke because, if not, it is a tragic waste of time and resources. The last thing I would want to do while swimming is make a damn phone call. Well, maybe not the last thing but certainly up there.
Anyway, by putting this isolation chamber on your head aren't you just begging someone to 1) In the case of the woman, molest you or 2) steal all of your belongings or 3) beat you senseless for bringing that ridiculous contraption into the pool?

Wait...does that thing actually keep u afloat? in the second picture,theyre not standing on the bottom...so your neck is actually strapped in...Id love for some lil kid to come running out of the locker rooms and jump on that, just for the "Tragic Death"local news spot...."a local man was decapitated by a youngster while using his cellphone in the deep end of a local pool...Details at 11"

its a device for sexual predators that immobilises the person. and hopefully makes them vibrate. see their vulnerable lifeless bodies just floating all dreamylike.

This product, our genius design, will save you lots of time. I know you're sceptic, but at least listen me out. I only takes 2 hours to take this device to a local swimming facility and fit it on and get into the pool. Just be patient and work hard and eventually you will be able to accept phone calls while you're swimming. Now suppose you are for instance Michael Phelps, in that case you spend lots of time in the pool, imagine that you spend 5 hours a day in the pool and another 5 hours a day talking in the phone, with this device you'll be floating around getting your swimming practice and at the same time you'll be talking in your phone! That's only 5 hours and an additional 2 hours of setup time, you will save 3 hours! Now imagine you're a stock broker in Wall Street, 3 hours = 3 million$ That's right, this product will make you a millionare. Now, my only question is: Why am I not allowed to curse in order to make my joke fun? freedom of speech = profanity!

@21
I donno what the f.uck you're talkin' about, but I like your style.

If I saw someone using one of these I'd swim up and give them a charlie horse and swim away really fast.

excellent for people sneaking up on you because you cannot hear them and getting your ass killed dead!

Fail

Easily the dumbest thing ever.

OMG x2.
I totally made my husband fish sticks for dinner, and then he made the NOM NOMs just like the kitten. ...aww, It's like you're right here sharing the moment with me GW. ..which the restraining order strictly prohibits- still.

I must have one. This devise looks like it is straight from the Jetsons. Wait even the Jetsons were using it for their hair not their ears so they could talk to somebody in the water. Hopefully this is fake.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
*changes into bathing suit*

Tweet!!!! Tweet!!! "Hey!.. Hey you!!! . No Balls In The Pool!!!!

so its a device that makes you look like a useless vegetable, interesting how technology makes us look more useless

whatever,

we already know a simple cell phone already has the ability to blocks out all peripheral sensory distraction of any driver.
