A failure as a product, Sega is repackaging their Body Trainer / FiTrainer MP3 player and heart monitor as the “Love Trainer.”
Inept as a lover? Wrap a strange cyborg headset around your ears while a GLaDOS-like gynoid voice leads you through the carnal act with helpful advice like: “At the beep, make love much harder.” Look, lady, I’m already trying here… shut up!
The video’s just perfect, implying a gag: from the t-shirt wearing schlub with erectile dysfunction as main protagonist to the hilariously unhelpful Love Trainer “instruction” to the occasional, staccato-flashes of a single erect nipple (NSFW, FYI). But you can actually order the Love Trainer from the site, so maybe it’s not an elaborate joke. Maybe it’s just hilariously stupid.

This will be hacked by desperate geeks to say things like “It’s OK, this happens all the time” and “Now for the anal!”
Reminds me of the sex scene in Demolition Man.

Let me know when you will be able to comply with our request.
*laugh* Too hilarious to be true!
I’m reminded of nothing so much as the non-contact sex headsets from Demolition Man. An unfortunate association. Sega ought to have stayed out of the hardware game.
