Look What UPS Just Dropped Off

written by John Chow on February 27, 2007

How one lazy bum made $176,697.50

ohmibodbox.jpg

I have to hand it to OhMiBod. When they said they were going to send me one for review, I was expecting just the vibrator. Upon opening the package, I found the OhMiBod plus some fun acSEXsories. Suki, OnMiBod’s founder, included a Hot Pink Softskin Sleeve, an OhMiBod Garter belt for iPod nano, and an OhMiBod T shirt. The OhMibod doesn’t come with batteries but Suki included some so that it’s all “ready to go.”

For those who don’t know, the OhMiBod is the world’s first iPod vibrator. The OhMiBod is sure to make the iPod a girl’s best friend. It gives new meaning to the term “plug and play,” and lets you feel the music in way you never thought possible. The OhMiBod sells for the very appropriate price of $69 (aff). It ships in a nice discreet gray box so the UPS man won’t be giving you the look.

Somehow, I get the feeling that Michael Kwan is going to refuse to review this product. I wonder if Jane May or Jennifer Lynn is available? I’m sure it will help Jane’s career or help Jennifer forget that’s she a broke-ass student. It’ll be really cool if they can do a video review. Then I can sell pay per views for it. I am so evil. :mrgreen: :twisted:

Hahahahahahahhahhahahahahah (deep breath) hahahahhahhahahahahahh

John Anthony February 27, 2007 at 4:19 pm

Getting Jane or Jennifer in on the review “action” is an excellent idea! I’ll see what I can do in encouraging Jane to get involved.

Saman Sadeghi February 28, 2007 at 12:11 pm

Some how I doubt the girls will do it – but just imagine how much traffic John would generate if they did a video review!

Nomar March 1, 2007 at 1:18 am

haha, a video review, i am sure some of the girls on the net would love to do it for a link back :D

MillionDollarJourney.com February 27, 2007 at 4:22 pm

You’ll have to let us know how the review goes. :)

Wendy Piersall February 27, 2007 at 4:36 pm

This may be just what you need to get yourself back on Digg.

:oops:

Ed Lau February 27, 2007 at 4:37 pm

As long as neither you or Michael review this, I’m okay with it.

Michael Kwan February 27, 2007 at 4:56 pm

Why, do you want to review it? :twisted:

Tyler February 27, 2007 at 4:39 pm

I have girls at work who want me to find out where they can order these!

I saw an article on them over on some other high-tech site.

John send them my way and I can be sure their used to their full extent ;)

Tyler February 27, 2007 at 4:41 pm

BTW I am serious about where do we go about ordering these. I have 2 people who want me to order them and I know a few others who would too.

John Chow February 27, 2007 at 4:44 pm

You can order them direct from OhMiBod. The buy link is $69.

Tyler February 27, 2007 at 4:44 pm

Don’t mind me, I forgot you linked to the company’s website in your previous post!

Now to set up a couple sales! (do I get commission? :oops: )

John Chow February 27, 2007 at 4:47 pm

If they had an affiliate program, believe me, I would have used an affiliate link. :twisted:

Takashi Yamada February 27, 2007 at 7:39 pm

John they actually do have an affiliate program for this, good example of a site doing it is here http://www.notcot.com/archives/2007/02/oh_mi_bod.php

Aaron Cook February 27, 2007 at 4:40 pm

LOL. Definitely puts new meaning to the question, “Can you feel the music?”

Maybe these two can work it into their “fun play” next road trip. :shock:

Shine on,

Saman Sadeghi February 28, 2007 at 12:14 pm

HAHAH! Great video Aaron – just imagine the look on the driver behind you if the iBod was jumping around as well!

Jennifer Lynn February 27, 2007 at 4:40 pm

*spits water all over keyboard*

..

oh my …

(err, bod, apparently)

Michael, by all means, put your new position to good use.

buahaha!

=^..^=

Michael Kwan February 27, 2007 at 4:54 pm

I vote for Jane.

Leftblank February 27, 2007 at 10:49 pm

Me too, video review please :mrgreen:

Jane February 28, 2007 at 12:41 am

HAHAHA…Im a classy kinda girl, what would you think of me if I did a video, hmmmm???

HMTKSteve February 28, 2007 at 2:51 am

Why I’d be thinking a lot of things!

Saman Sadeghi February 28, 2007 at 12:15 pm

Somehow, I doubt there would to much thinking going on… ;)

ilker March 1, 2007 at 3:31 am

I think..

Jane February 28, 2007 at 12:42 am

I wouldn’t mind doing a review, I’ve emailed John about it :wink:

Ajith February 28, 2007 at 2:48 am

Do let me know after you do the review.. :lol:

Jonix February 28, 2007 at 8:03 am

That review will be candidate to an oscar :D

HMTKSteve February 28, 2007 at 10:34 am

This will be a video review, right?

Matthew Berman February 27, 2007 at 4:45 pm

yes get one of your female writers to do a video review…and then sell it to me:)

Alex Shalman February 27, 2007 at 5:04 pm

The appropriateness border is in Vancouver… this ended up all the way in the U.S. If you get sued for sexual harassment of your writers, I laugh at you. =)I can tell Michael feels violated.

Jeff February 27, 2007 at 5:05 pm

… i’m speechless.

Do we get a video review??? :shock:

Ryan February 27, 2007 at 5:06 pm

When can we expect a contest giving this away? Unused, of course. :mrgreen:

TheAnand February 28, 2007 at 4:00 am

That’s an Evil Thought!…Bet John is seriously considering this! :razz:

Kumiko February 27, 2007 at 5:09 pm

Come on John! Don’t pass the buck and alienate your female readers!! Review it yourself! :wink:

I wanna read about the Miscellaneous Vibrations of a Dot Com Mogul!!! :grin:

Kumiko
xo

Tyler February 27, 2007 at 5:45 pm

haha

I don’t want to hear about Moto vibrating, at least it won’t work with his new Zune ;)

Oh now if they came out with a mini version of the Ohmibod that would could go discreetly alongside the new shuffles. Think of how popular those could be!

John Chow February 27, 2007 at 5:56 pm

It will work with a Zune, or any MP3 player for that matter. :oops:

HMTKSteve February 28, 2007 at 2:52 am

But will it ‘feel’ the same with a Zune?

ilker March 1, 2007 at 3:28 am

Get vibrating, Mr. Chow!

Kumiko March 1, 2007 at 4:12 am

Haha!! :lol: My campaign is working!!! :twisted:

Kumiko

ilker March 1, 2007 at 2:28 pm

Hehehe.. it was a good sentence Kumiko! :twisted:

Aaron Cook February 27, 2007 at 5:09 pm

John,

They actuall DO have an affiliate program…just check down at the very bottom of their homepage.:wink:

For example (if it posts properly): OhMiBog!

casey February 28, 2007 at 8:24 am

How much do you receive per sale?
I am very interested to promote this product in my home country.

John Chow February 28, 2007 at 8:39 am

10% commission or $6.90 per sale.

Hannes Johnson February 27, 2007 at 5:19 pm

hehe… I guess having a popular blog does have its “perks” :smile:

By the way, the $69 link is “broken” – you have a double href=” there.

Gary February 27, 2007 at 5:24 pm

what is this blog turning into???? :) . . . ship one to kumiko . . . i rather read her review on it! ;)

Michael Kwan February 27, 2007 at 9:00 pm

I’d say Kumiko is a good candidate as well.

Gary February 27, 2007 at 10:19 pm

Can we run a Poll for most wanted reviewer?

A. Kumiko
B. Jane May
C. John Chow

Jane February 27, 2007 at 10:50 pm

LOL…good thing i don’t get embarrassed too easily.

Kumiko February 28, 2007 at 4:03 am

Haha!! Then my vote is DEFINITELY for John Chow!!! :shock:

Kumiko

Saman Sadeghi February 28, 2007 at 12:19 pm

I can see it know: It’s all going down hill already! :lol:

Jeff February 28, 2007 at 8:14 pm

I’m putting a poll on my blog right now.

Michael February 27, 2007 at 5:33 pm

Sweet. I got a book in th email from a publisher and got excited about that. You get way cool better stuff then I do.

Michael

StormVideographer February 27, 2007 at 5:40 pm

Jonix February 27, 2007 at 5:56 pm

This is the “new era” of music “interaction” :D

Ajith February 27, 2007 at 6:53 pm

Hi left Jen a message any way I would also like the reviewing this. If there s any chance please let me see the video

Michael Kwan February 28, 2007 at 12:18 am

You want to review this????

Ajith February 28, 2007 at 2:52 am

Dude I think you got the oppertunity right befor you, Use it and tell us.. :mrgreen:

Ajith February 28, 2007 at 2:55 am

Actually the text was broken I meant if there is any chance of Jane reviewing it.
And I got :shock:

Jeremy Steele February 27, 2007 at 7:13 pm

OMG, thats friggin hilarious.

Now you should send back the package with everything except the vibrator just to see what they say.

Matt Coddington February 27, 2007 at 9:04 pm

Am I the only one who thinks asking random girls to review a vibrater is creepy?

Gary February 27, 2007 at 10:21 pm

No, I don’t think you’re the only one, but I checked formalities and reality at the door when i decided to enter this post’s comment section!

Jennifer Lynn February 27, 2007 at 11:10 pm

I know John’s teasing. What really disturbs me the most is that this thing was even sent to his door. To me, the whole concept is incredibly creepy. :???:

Saman Sadeghi February 28, 2007 at 12:21 pm

Yeah really, just imagine that you have a favorite song. You use the iBod with this one song – what happens when you hear that song at the grocery store?!?!

Ajith February 28, 2007 at 2:53 am

Yes you are the only one I think… :grin:

Dinner February 27, 2007 at 10:12 pm

Nice! LOL. They’ve been talking about those on the radio a bunch of times. No wonder I see so many girls listening to iPods nowadays lol.

Jonix February 28, 2007 at 8:05 am

You found the “lost secret” :D

Kumiko February 27, 2007 at 10:59 pm

John,

I’ve started a campaign on my site to get you to review this thing! I’m not going to give up on this one!! :grin:

Kumiko

Michael Kwan February 28, 2007 at 12:20 am

Hahaha, nice post you have there. You made a banner and everything.

Kumiko February 28, 2007 at 1:09 am

Thanks! Next is the “Make John Chow Vibrate” T-shirts!!! :smile:

Ajith February 28, 2007 at 2:57 am

You rock , its really hilarious to see your post and banner

Allen.H February 28, 2007 at 4:45 am

Getting one the females to review this is going to be pretty interesting I’m sure.

derrich March 1, 2007 at 6:01 am

KU-MI-KO! KU-MI-KO! :twisted:

HMTKSteve February 28, 2007 at 5:05 am

The idea of an iPod vibrator review on a site called “broke-ass student” has porn movie written all over it!

Kumiko February 28, 2007 at 5:20 am

Haha! Hilarious!! :grin: This comment thread just sank to an even lower level!!! :lol:

Kumiko

HMTKSteve February 28, 2007 at 5:30 am

I’m just stating the obvious…

Ajith February 28, 2007 at 6:29 am

Thats pretty hilarious……….. :mrgreen:

ilker March 1, 2007 at 3:46 am

LOL! :lol:

Gdog February 28, 2007 at 5:23 am

Make sure you wash that thing before you “review” it, John! :shock:

XtremgenX February 28, 2007 at 10:07 pm

:mrgreen: To make it logical and reasonable to wash it, he has to make someone work on it first! :oops: Gosh! silly me. :twisted:

Kalle February 28, 2007 at 7:08 am

hahahah :D roflmao

Rosie February 28, 2007 at 8:14 am

Gareth February 28, 2007 at 7:13 pm

:twisted: I’m gonna vote for a john chow review too. :evil:

Just because it would be way more hilarious than any of the girls doing it. HAHA.

Jeff February 28, 2007 at 8:34 pm

There is a poll on who should do the review on my blog.

Kumiko March 1, 2007 at 12:36 am

VOTE JOHN CHOW! Make the root of all evil vibrate!!

Gary Lee March 1, 2007 at 1:39 am

weren’t you coming out with a doll Kumiko? or at least a flash banner?

Jeff March 1, 2007 at 2:24 am

I don’t think I want to see John Chow on a video with that thing… NO offense John haha.

ilker March 1, 2007 at 3:43 am

I second that :???:

Jane May March 2, 2007 at 12:02 am

I think it’d be interesting :razz:

Jeff Kee March 4, 2007 at 8:16 pm

I’m still in support of Jane doing this.. or Kumiko.. or together.

lyndonmaxewell March 1, 2007 at 3:11 am

Gosh! I would have been soo embarrassed to write a review on this! haha.. way to go, john!

WildBluff_Matt March 1, 2007 at 4:46 am

Anyone remember that joke-ad on the internet years ago that was mocking Jeff Goldblum’s iMac commercial. In his he talked about being at a party and being confused by email conversation and said he had never gotten an email. (see how much that dates it). Then the joke ad was a lady talking about being at a party and admitting she had never gotten an O. Then they played the same Rolling Stones music, “She comes in colors everywhere…”. It was very professional and very funny.

So this might have been the first ipod vib to hit production, but there was an earlier concept.

Stuart March 3, 2007 at 1:56 pm

Was kind of embarrassing, I looked at this post while in class. Gulp, hopefully no one gets the wrong impressions.

bloggadget March 10, 2007 at 3:50 pm

Great lets make john chow vibrate :!:
