The press release contains another great example of tech-industry bathos:
EMTEC, the inventor of the first magnetic tape for audio recording, boasting more than seventy years of experience ... has officially launched Kooky USB Drives, based on the popular character pens known as Kooky Klickers™.

oh, how the mighty have fallen...
They look like SqueezIt bottles.
i saw those at Staples last week and i couldn't stop staring at them. they're even worse in person.
please make them go away.
hey - here's a great way to make yourself look even more 'professional' ;P
Is there a gadget version of a unicorn chaser?
@5 well one of them is wearing a tie.
...Those are USB drives? I thought they were some sort of Fiesta-themed butt plugs! :-P
@8 haha! I wonder what John "Assplay" Brownlee thinks of em.
Individually they're just dumb looking but taken as a group the ugly factor goes exponential.
Come on, they have a fashion sensibility that is reflected on the street, ad nauseum...
Frankly, my dears, they look like vibrators.
And if you think they're alarmingly childish to look like such *vital* technology, remember the Japanese have had Hello Kitty v-toys for years... vive my !innocence.
so im browsing youtube and there it is, karen black scrambling in terror away from a kooky klicker usb drive armed with a spear...
It reminds me of the sort of cartoons that high school kids who really can't draw like to doodle in their spiral notebooks.

I vote for a jailbroken iPhone as the tech unicorn chaser... It's definitely magical, and often mythical in it's capabilities. Plus it brings great joy to most who encounter one.
Halloween Jack - That is EXACTLY what my first thought was!
