If Only There Was Something Douchier Than Bluetooth Headgear

First there was the Listen Up commercial, which hated women. Now there's new advancement in eavesdropping technology: the Silver Sonic earpiece, which allows you to hear people complimenting you from up to 30 feet away:

Remember, it looks just like a cellphone ear adapter, so nobody will ever know you're walking up and down the beach in your bikini just waiting to overhear people talking about your great body. They'll just think you're one of those Bluetooth douchebags. (Thanks to Nick for the tip!)

not only is "bluedouche" officially a word, it's got its own flickr pool:

The sad part is that my friend and I actually bought the Listen Up just to see if it would work. All it did though was make it so you had to listen to your own annoying breathing really loudly. :(

Seriously though, John's shit-eating grin from across the room is permanently etched in my mind.

in silver sonic land, the only thing that people talk about is how much like admire the people just out of convenient hearing range from them.

in the real world land, it is less so...
