I collect carefully chosen signs of the coming apocalypse, as you know from past postings like The photo they didn’t want us to see… and Tight security for fancy potato heads…
The latest such sign is that tasers – those personal stun guns that zap an assailant with enough electricity to make him resemble a twitching skeleton – are now available in pink, red and leopard, with holsters that double as MP3 music players.
I see problems in mixing personal protection with entertainment. It’s dark, you’ve had some drinks, you’re walking home with a taser in your holster, dancing to the music. Your cell phone rings, you mistakenly clap the taser to your ear and fumble for the talk button. What could possibly go wrong?

Sure, if you want an MP3 player loaded with nothing but Zip Zap Rap…
Don’t Michael Bolton me, bro!
Send a couture taser to one of those psycho Chihuahua owning toothpick starlets and see how long it takes before the ASPCA gets an ‘nonymous tip.’ I dare you.
Too bad Paris Hilton and Don Knotts never had a love child. I’m just saying.
Stings a bit.
New urban legend. If you tase a dog, it will kill the fleas and ticks. Works on parrots, too. Hand to God, Paris.
I’m not buying one until they offer a Red Rider version.
I shot my taser
Into the air
It came to earth
I know not AAAAHhhhhh!
I just want one shaped like an oversized wallet. Take THAT, pickpockets.
Gentlemen, we must stop this fad before they incorporate a cell phone vibrator and render us obsolete. Um.
All their colors clash with my chartreuse nightstick. I will stay with basic black.
Paintball is for whimps.
Dibs on Taser Tag™.
Dang! Somebody already coined the term. Well, ‘taser tag’ to you too.
