For some reason this reminds me of the infamous vibrating Nimbus 2000 toy and the resulting (and hilarious) sexual scandal it caused.

I remember when I first heard about it at the time. I went out to the Amazon reviews page for that toy, and there were quite a few clueless, naive reviews that had me pretty much crying with laughter. After a few weeks Amazon removed so the best ones. I'm glad some of them got captured for posterity.
