I clocked the jizz from a friend of yours named Vanessa Bet
She said u told her a fantasy that got her all wet
Something about a little box with a mirror and a tongue inside
What she told me then got me so hot/I knew that we could slide
My patron saint for all things freaky, Prince, wrote this lyric nearly 20 years ago (Can you believe it? Neither can I), who knew the manner of prophecy The Glyph was laying down all those years ago. Well, I’ve seen the future and it will be… the Makerbot.
MakerBot Industries creates open source robot kits that transform your digital designs into physical objects automatically. It functions like a 3D printer that can turn all of your 2D fantasies into stimulating simulacra with the push of a button. The MakerBot is kind of old news, but they just released the Cupcake CNC, a little, hackable, almost portable version of its more sturdy models.
Of course, sex is NOT what the pencil-pushers who made the gadget had in mind, at least not conspicuously, but like with their Internet and their camera phones, this little marvel will probably train on our orifices and stay there. The mind just reels, and other parts plump, to the possible applications. Send your “friend” a copy of your cock, your favorite toy, or just an outright dare. Polyurethane playmates, instant real-dolls, downloaded and waiting for your next to your desk, a box with a mirror and a tongue inside…
The press for this thing says “make anything you can imagine”, and they will post your creations on their site. I’m wondering if any of the readers of this blog can make something they just refuse to post. Probably.
