Smokin' Hot Phone!

As if target marketing had not already subjugated every living person into tiny consumable morsels, and as if gadget mash-ups haven't already reached absurd levels, we are given word that a Chinese Phone company has found a new sub-group to market to: the half a pack a day smoker cell phone user that needs camera and MP3 functionality built in type. You know... that guy. I'm sure you're probably sitting next to him right now.

This phone holds a half-pack of cigarettes inside. Just open up the phone, and you can stash them right behind the battery pack. The phone is even designed to completely resemble a cigarette pack, measuring in at the exact size of a pack of smokes and with all the governmental warnings printed on the side. This is for real real, not for play play.

As for the, uh, technical specs (I suppose the are worth the mention?), the dualband GSM phone has room for a MicroSD card, has MP3 playback, full color screen and a camera on the side. If you're the import kind of person, for just $175, you can get the full set, complete with phone, a pack of cigs, and a lighter.

Personally, I'm not sure if I would laugh at someone for having one of these, or feel sorry for them that they are that out of touch. In any case, its coming, and I'm sure there are plenty of people that are willing, wanting, and able!
