The Wiibrator. Why? [NSFW]

Mojowijo’s Wiibrator is a Wii sex toy that tries to be as terrifying as possible. When attached to a Wii remote, the extensions sync with Bluetooth-enabled PC software, which connects the two controllers without the need for a Wii console. Says Mojowijo’s decidedly not-sexy website, “the device is able to transform the varying motions of the control into appropriate vibration signals and send them to another selected device – in the same room or over the internet.” In other words, waving one wand sends stimulation to the other, which can be in the same room or on the other side of the world.

This isn’t the first attempt at making the Wii remote sexy. A couple years ago, a group called Team Dwiildo created homebrew Wii software that could trigger the remote’s vibration function, and it was also called Wiibrator. Apparently, the software is no longer available.

Mojowijo says the product is in beta, and you can sign up to be one of the testers. But I’ve got a few questions: Why? Would it really be that difficult to create a device like this without defiling Nintendo’s family-friendly game controller? Is there really anyone out there who’s holding off on a dedicated high-tech sex toy in favor of the do-it-all Wii remote? Does anyone actually trust their vibration to someone else’s waggle? Most importantly, what’s up with that claw? [SF Weekly via Nerd Bastards]
