10 of the most mind numbingly pointless gadget combos created by human beings…

Want a completely useless gadget that could get you killed? Check out the TASER-Mp3 player combo. At first it may seem like a good idea. Masking a self defense and publicly undesirable object with something that every loves — an mp3 player. I thought the whole point of a tazer was to protect your from surroundings that were inhabited by less than friendly individuals? Now how can you pay attention in those dark, remote portions of cities with some stupid Clay Aiken song blaring into your ears? It’s simple: You can’t! Allow me to step through a scenario…

Chances are, if someone runs up behind you, they’ll do so unnoticed since you can’t hear them. Making matters worse, when you do get grabbed, a frantic battle will surely ensure in which you try to whip our your taser, get bumped, overpowered, and ultimately tasered by your own taser. Whether it was because you simply lost your footing and fell on the TASER, shocking yourself, or were overpowered by your attacker doesn’t matter. The end result could mean death if you’re one of the few people who just don’t have the heart to fight off thousands of angry electrons all gunning for your chest thumper.

See how quickly something can go wrong? Now how does that taser/mp3 player combo sound? Not lookin’ too good is it?

Stay one step ahead of creepers with the Scorpion 200 Spray and Stun Gun

While Tazers are more often marketed towards women, (heck some even have tazer parties), both sexes can benefit from having a trusty stun gun. Next to a gun, they are one of the most effective methods for neutralizing a subject who is either getting to fresh with you, or simply trying to steal/kill you. Not things to be taken lightly mind you. Some people carry pepper spray. Some carry stun guns/tazers. Now you can stay one step ahead of the game and go above and beyond with the Scorpion 200 Spray and Stun Gun. The Scorpion 200 is more than a tazer and more than a can of pepper spray – it’s both! Shock your attacker with a heart stopping (literally) 200,000 volts (enough to make Mr. Tough guy Mr. not moving for 30 minutes guy) and seal the deal by burning their eyes out with a nasty dose of pepper spray. Not only will they be flopping like a fish, but a blind fish. Safety and living are the number one priority. How much is it worth to you? If you answered $99.95, you would be correct. Life has no price…right? Specs below per Gadget Universe:

* Immediate self-defense, 100% reliability
