Hacked USB flash drive piques interest, remains ironically forgettable
(Credit: Perpetual Kid)USB key drives usually only serve one boring purpose: to give users an inexpensive way to download and take information with them on the go. But who said all USB keys have to be so boring? We're starting to see manufacturers get more creative, but whatever happened to the classic practical joke?
Peep this "Hacked!" USB flash drive designed to look like someone got pissed and Hulked out on your USB cord. You even get a few frayed wires at the end for added effect! It only comes in a single 2GB model, and $49 is a wee bit expensive, but you gotta pay to play your co-workers, even though they probably won't give a crap when they see this sick little gag.

Your last sentence almost makes me feel like a loser for wanting to just *read* about it. THAT'S a good vibe to send out on one of the world's most popular tech blogs.

- The American Heritage Dictionary?s usage panel found it unacceptable to use the word ironic to describe mere unfortunate coincidences or surprising disappointments that ?suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly.?
