I've seen some hair-brained (hey-ooooo) ideas in my time, but this just might take the cake. For those of you who find Bluetooth headsets or the wired headsets that come with your cell phone too pedestrian, here's something that will certainly turn heads: a wired headset that looks like a hair dryer. Trust me, I wish I were making this up.

Yes, for just $7.59, you can talk to your family and friends through a hair dryer and be the object of various onlookers' ridicule envy. The cell phone hair dryer headset comes with various adapters that should work with most Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson cell phones. But all I have to say is: really? Really?!

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and nominate this for Brian "Flash" Tong's "Do Not Crave" segment on the weekly Crave vodcast. Do not want.
