Situp Kinniku Man: Hilarious "workout" USB
Some of you may have seen this character before. It's "Kinnikuman," one of the most popular (if not, the most) manga/anime in Japanese history. Every boy grew up reading or watching Kinnikuman and dreamed that, one day, we'd all have bicepts like him.
You can read all about Kinnikuman on wikipedia 'caues I can go on for pages just talking about the manga. But I won't. Instead, let me introduce you the newest Kinnikuman "gadget."
Just out in stores (or, on Rakuten - Japanese version of eBay), it's called "Fukkin Kinnikuman" manufactured by PC Gadget. It looks like a USB memory stick, and it works like one too. Once you stick it into your computer, it'll start moving, humping back and forth, exactly like the action of a "fukkin" - or "situps."
It moves like it's doing situps. The fact that a "Muscle Man" continues to work out is funny enough. That it doesn't have the functions of a memory card is icing on the cake! On the store's homepage, it says in red, bold letters: THIS IS NOT A USB MEMORY STICK. Also, it comes in several different characters, including Robin Mask, Warsman, and Ramenman.
This "workout" USB is manufactured in various types, and you can actually see here how it moves once it's plugged into your laptop.
*USB CRUNCHING DOG*
Whoever came up with the idea of using Kinnikuman on this series is a genius. I need to seriously go buy myself one of these...
