Stumbled across this on a design website (notcot.org -> awesome and inspiring sight! check it!)

Only took 20 months to develop? looks a little 9-0-2-1-0 for my tastes...

Looks like the guy/company/studio wasted 20-months of time.

kinda looks like if mac tried to make a move on the pipe market. i wonder what makes them think its simple, considering it has way more parts than most pipes ive seen.

"This pipe is made with acrylic stone and stainless steel to make it more hygienic, making is considerably less dangerous to the users health due to the subtraction of the materials traditionally used."

Yeah, acrylic stone and stainless steel release way less chemicals when heated than glass does. Get with it boro pipe-makers. This is the face of the future, get behind it or get ran over by it.

the bit about how stainless steel and plastic are safer than 'previous materials used' is really funny. almost as funny as the 20 months of development. what could possibly be worse materials for a pipe than than metal and plastic? good job china

Thats almost as funny as saying smoking any thing is good for you in the first place. weather out of glass or metal.

Love how they dont even put a round about price on this thing. It looks like a fucking fashion accessory. Your gonna see Paris Hilton wearing one around her neck in a few months.

like mentioning that it took 20 months to develop is going to help sell that fake-china-import piece of junk.

But seriously, they should fire the designer (for lameness) and fire the guy/gal that approved spending "product development" dollars on that thing...

a set of ginsu knives, a knife that can cut through tin cans and still cleanly slice a tomato, and a little self-propelled lure that the big mouth bass can resist...

'Vince' Offer Shlomi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Offer) (shamwow guy) is still around. Legendary shouting pitchman Billy Mays (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_mays) however, passed away this past spring.

If you call right now, or in the next 20 minutes (you know we can't do this all day), we'll throw in a paperclip as a cleaning tool (That's a $60 dollar value ABSOLUTELY FREE!)

For those too lazy to read the wikipedia about the shamwow guy, "Offer Shlomi," (his real name... his real name is "offer?") here is the icing.

On February 7, 2009, Offer was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida on a charge of felony battery after an altercation with a 26-year-old prostitute. Offer, who appears in police reports under his real name Vince Shlomi, contended that he struck the prostitute when she "bit his tongue and would not let go." Prosecutors later declined to file formal charges against either individual.
