The Future Is Now - Jetson's Motokicks

The Future Is Now

At the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a fancy device won a robotics innovation award, but the honor was taken away when organizers realized it was a vibrator. In a statement to The Next Web, the Consumer Technology Association said the device violated a rule and was disqualified based on the item being deemed immoral, obscene, indecent or profane. Critics of the decision point out that "booth babes" and "sex toys" are allowed at the conference and should be allowed to qualify for innovation awards.
