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.
