Hitachi - Magic wand, Hydraulic excavators, Scanning Electron Microscopes.

They sold the rights to make the magic wand about a decade ago. No longer Hitachi, alas.

Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

I thought Magic Wands were used almost exclusively for holesome activities.

You're not supposed to put that thing into your hole.

Actually, it's pretty good for that

Seems like it would be a violent torturous way to make orifices much larger than they're supposed to be 😳

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Violent? That would be a choice. Maybe I'll try it sometime. Anyway, it feels amazing.
