Feel The Global Pain

Are you feeling guilty? In that non-specific ‘Oh the world is all awful and all I do is, like, post to my weblog about George W. Bush and, like, stuff’ sort of a way?

Help is at hand, in the form of WiFi-SM:

WiFi-SM is an Internet connected wireless device that you can fix on any part of your body. It automatically detects the information from approximately 4,500 news sources worldwide updated continuously and analyses them looking for specific keywords such as death, kill, murder, torture, rape, war, virus etc.. Each time the text of the news contains one of these keywords, your WiFi-SM device is activated through the WiFi network and provides you with an electric impulse. This impulse is calibrated so that you can feel a certain amount of pain, but is completely safe.

I know I want one.
