Odd Tech: Bluetooth Headset With Laser Pointer & Flashlight

Ever since Austin Powers' Dr. Evil failed to receive his sharks with head-mounted laser beams, the prospect of shooting red rays from my cabeza has haunted me like a bad idea bent on being born into the world.

Luckily, the insane people at Brando seem to have been similarly haunted, as they've just released a $90 Bluetooth headset that combines both a laser pointer and an LED flashlight. Yay:

The ultra-compact design incorporates practical features of headset, laser pointer, remotely scrolling of PC presentation and LED flashlight. The laser pointer can be used standalone. Having paired the BluePOINTER with a HID profile-supported PC, you can remotely scroll your PC presentation. The ultra-bright LED flashlight is a bonus unique feature.

What, the thought of whipping your head around like a gun turret during business presentations doesn't appeal to you? Sounds like a great way to make a fool of yourself, you say? Well I couldn't agree more.

But dig, if you will, this picture: You're standing alone on a platform at your favorite dance club. You're shirtless, sweaty, and fabulous. Fog machines are pouring mist into a room crowded with gay men rubbing up against each other in time to the music. Everyone's looking for that certain someone. Then, against all odds, you whip out your Brando Bluetooth Laser Thingy and pow, all eyes are on the techno-hottie with the searingly powerful laser ear-dongle. You're going home with Mr. Right and you feel like a million bucks.

Or, alternatively, you feel like a Borg drone.
