Mad scientists live among us!

Here comes the next in the series of unbelievably stupid gadgets out there: the cellphone ankle strap! This is an invention allowing you to wear your cellphone strapped around your hand, your ankle or around whatever limb you think is good enough to carry your handset and make you look cool as you've never thought it is possible.

Gary Fortson, the genius behind this incredibly 'useful device', recommends it for when you go on trips, play golf, for mountain biking and other such adventurous activities and gives us all a delightful advice: "Get Yo Strap On!".

This strap is meant for both male and female costumers but the ones that will surely take the most out of it will be the women because they will not only be able to wear their phones in some easy reachable places (arm, elbow, ankle, probably neck :) ) but they also can match it to whatever they wear at a certain time by attaching charms, cellphone jewelry and other crazy things like those. Guess what? "Customizing the CPC Strap is limited only by your imagination!" You don't say!

If you think of a way to name the action of wearing this CPC Strap, think no more because its inventor has already thought about that for you and he has come up with this. When you wear two cellphone straps carrying around two different handsets this is called the 'Vette Style' and in case you'll be wearing it around your ankle together with some fancy looking, mind blowing, eye distracting pearl charm (silver, gold or anything else you'd prefer) it's called the 'Ricca Style'. Just think about you going out and when your friend is calling to ask you how will you be dressing you smile devilishly and tell him (her): "Ricca Style my friend! Ricca Style!".

Let's end the irony, everyone group around me and say it to Gary straight in the face: that thing is a total cr*p! If I were you (the one standing in front of the screen, reading this article), I would keep my hands off of it and try not even to think about it. It will surely be enough seeing people on the street wearing it, I'm sure you don't want to think about every moment of the day and slap yourself silly just because you're a member of the same species as the individual that has thought about it in the first place.

I certainly wish to rant some more about it, for at least two or three pages, but, unfortunately, this article won't go in the 'Ranting' section so I have to restrain myself. But, mark my words, a 'Ranting' section will soon appear on Softpedia and just you wait!
