Cause what's better than strippers and fresh squeezed juice
Check out this project from UK design firm 3eyes:
The Lapjuicer is intended to be used by a lap-dancer in a club. The performer uses their body with the object, in order to extract fruit juices that can be drunk by one or more spectators.
Imagine someone making your favourite cocktail with a Lapjuicer… it’s for girls and boys - who do you want to see using it?
Okay, I get that it’s an artistic concept and that it’s for both men and women. It’s still creepy.
I don’t think I will ever again sit without looking down first.

Um, I realize the answer to this is obvious, but how the fuck do you hold the fruit?!
Yeah, that’s just creepy. All I can think is ow! For some reason I’m getting flashbacks to the tampon-spike. Who the hell comes up with this shit?
And could you imagine having like half an orange on the damm thing and having to make sure you rubbed against it AND the client? Like you need any more stickiness!
Wow, and you thought Nonoxyl-9 was bad for your tissues!
I hate to think about what kind of yummy organisms one might be sucking up in that glass. Hey waiter, there's a hair in my drink!
"Designed by a man, but made for a woman."
And I'm sure the acid from the fruit would have a lovely effect on vaginal tissue as well...
"Designed by a man, but made for a woman."
Is there any doubt?
Ugh.
Someone got paid to make that, and someone paid to have it made... there has to be a way I can make weird crap too and sell it.
Here is an interesting question, who would you like to see sit in the chair??
now there's a good question!
who wouldn't like a nice tall glass of rovejuice?
This has to be someone's art project, some kind of commentary on consumerism and sex. I can't think of any other explanation.
Yeah - it's Royal College of Art, the brief was 'design a new experience or service.' Yawn.
Wow. Sounds like a good way to get E. Coli...
Euwwwww!
The original impetus for sound awareness came from composers and musicians. As professional listeners and makers of sound, they are acutely aware of the sonic environment and its acoustic ecology, the discipline that explores the ecological health and balance of our acoustic environment and all living beings within.
It is in large part artists who have been at the forefront of sensory searching. R. Murray Schafer introduced the concept of soundscape in the mid-1970s and, later, that of acoustic ecology.
Westerkamp defines soundscape as ‘the sum total of all sounds within any defined area, and an intimate reflection of, among others, the social, political, technological, and natural conditions of the area.
Change in these conditions means change in the sonic environment’. Schafer noted too that ‘to grasp what I understand by acoustic aesthetics, we should consider the world as a vast musical composition which is constantly unfolding before us’.
