iCarta: the iPod toilet-paper dispenser. Really.

icarta_w.jpg

Sometimes it seems like companies create products just as joke fodder for jaded, snarky bloggers. Exhibit A: this toilet-paper dispenser/iPod dock, the iCarta. Seriously, guys? Have consumers been clamoring for this, or do you just think there haven't been enough poop jokes in gadget blogs lately? Well I, for one, refuse to stoop to your level. Let's see here… if you fold the sides of the holder in, it could just act as a normal iPod dock for when you're in the shower. The speakers are moisture-free as well, so you won't have to worry about steaming them to death, although I'm not sure if the iPod itself would be too happy with that. And really, that's all I can really say about it while retaining any semblance of dignity. There doesn't seem to be any pricing info available for this, not that you would seriously consider buying it anyway.

Isn't "making water" or "dropping the kids off at the pool" supposed to be an archetypal moment of reflection? Does one really need immediate access to play lists? And will folks create play lists to poop by with number and length of songs based on size of last meal and gastro-intestinal disposition? No I say. This goes too far. A major invasion of tech into a private moment.

I think we're missing the point concerning the uber cool iPod toilet paper dispenser. Isn't there some sort of science that pulls together music and gastrointestinal function...you know, like how classical music supposedly makes plants grow?

Or maybe it's something simpler, such as "Let's see...maybe a little Nick Lachey would be appropriate here, cause his music is crap."

How about...."I can't poop without my Ipod"

By ShadowChild at 8:52 PM ON 06/15/06

Ok, the idea of the shower thing I guess would make sense. The toilet roll? Is there even a point to that? Do people really consider themselves above earphones now? Seriously...
It would make a nice joke though. A prank gift, if you will, just for the sake of being stupid.
