As most of us couch potatoes know, a remote control can be a person's best friend in oh so many occasions. That's the reason why modern remotes come in all shapes and sizes, with loads of more or less useful buttons and switches, and sometimes even LCD displays that allow you to actually see on your remote the menus you're navigating through. However, even if it doesn't offer some pretty impressive features, the remote you're about to see as follows is a real treat, since the Bikini Remote is shaped like a half-clad busty woman featuring enough buttons to control quite a lot of devices, and partially even its owner.

The first thing that can be said about the Bikini Remote control is that it's pretty versatile, since it is compatible with an extremely wide range of television-related devices, including here TV sets, VCRs and various types of set top boxes. Moreover, the device works in a very interesting manner. Thus, the users can flip up the bikini tops in order to reveal some channel up-and-down buttons with a pretty interesting design, but also flip down the bottoms in order to access number and re-set controls. Pretty hot, don't you think?

The Bikini remote, which won't take up too much of your couch space, since it measures just 14 cm x 11.43 cm, works with just 2 AA batteries, and is sold online by "The Lighter Side Co." website for around 17 US dollars. It's actually quite cheap, and that's why it will probably sell quite well, even if the owners might have to face the wrath of their jealous girlfriends at some point.
