I’ve been wary of any ‘vibrating massage’ devices ever since the beating I received after rummaging through my parents’ closet as a child, but I’m willing to check out the USB Massage Scarf because of one amazing component: ‘high energy particles’. That and the amazing email pitch that landed in my inbox today: ‘Dear editors, The gadget I recommend today is surely a revolutionary tech item and will capture everyone’s eyeball closely.’ Who could resist?
Actually, the pitch is so good, here is the rest of it, for your information gathering pleasure:The scarf features high-energy particles with warm and wind-proof cloth, which is pretty suitable for wearing during cold days. Most importantly, it is USB powered (not like battery operated massager) and hand washable, which makes it an ideal companion at work, on the train or in the comfort of your own living room!The Massage Scarf is scary enough, a kind of plushie Ouroboros, the snake that swallows its own tail. Read further into the description, though, and it starts to look suspiciously like the personal massagers bought surreptitiously from mail-order catalog by 1960s housewives, which was a total massage creep for them. Witness it stealthily slipping downwards, as it can be used on your ‘neck, shoulders, thighs or waist’. From there you can ‘get into relaxation mode’ with the ‘adjustable vibration level’ which ‘improves blood circulation’ and will ‘release your tense muscles’.Tempted? We are. The USB ‘scarf’ will cost just ’7.91 ($11.83) in currency, and a lifetime of shame and ridicule should you ever be caught using it.
