A Bluetooth 'Smart Chastity Belt' For Men is Just Nuts

There was a real head-shaker of a story in Yahoo News yesterday; one I just couldn't ignore, especially since my official title has changed:

This is nothing to take lightly. I lobbied long and hard for this promotion and I intend to show that those who entrusted me with this responsibility rest easy (1). There is a high standard for me to attain: this needs to be tasteless AND stupid. 

The Details

In the "guess what I learned today" lesson, I discovered that there is a device called the Cellmate which is very versatile! It can be used to ensure monogamy and to jazz up your love life; it's touted as a "submission sex play device."

TIME FOR A CONTEST!

Let's play "Things I Would Rather Have Clamped to My Nuts!" It's good clean fun! Here is my entry (for those of you who are metaphorically challenged, the package of Planter's Peanuts represents your "cojones.")

C'mon, demented readers. Let's see what you got! Beat this and you will receive a yet-undetermined, worthless prize courtesy of ACSH. 

NOTE:

(1) That's a blatant lie. Right now they are probably hiding under the bed cringing at the thought of me being given the opportunity to talk about steel testicle traps. And well they should since my humor treads the line between merely tasteless and suitable only for the dark web.
