I've seen some of the weirdest USB devices in my life, but nothing beats this USB Pole Dancer. The USB Pole Dancer features a silver pole, multi-colored lights, and disco music. When powered on, she's supposed to do a little dance for ya along with the music. It's said to have cost £19.50 (~$25 USD).

Ironically, it looks a bit like Barbie, so I'm imagining that (well, one of the reasons anyway) is why this 8-inch tall USB device has been yanked from shelves at the popular Marks & Spencer stores in the UK. According to the Daily Mail, "A toy pole dancer has been scrapped by Marks & Spencer just a week after it went on sale, following scores of protests from angry shoppers." I don't find this device offensive at all. In fact, I think it's freakin' hilarious, and I bet some of my male colleagues would agree with me (although I don't think they'd admit it!)

I guess this means we won't be getting one in for testing... [via Gizmodo]
