These Japanese never run out of funky things to sell and show off. Consider these Talking Lips for instance.They’re glorified speakers, but its not just the shape that strikes us. The lips actually move according to the sounds. Chat addicst can use it for for handsfree conversations via a mobile phone or VOIP sessions on the PC. Wealthy money wasters get a choice between three colors - Silver, Black and Red. Featured here is the red one:

The Lips boast a volume control on the side and power switch at the bottom. You can connect it to the PC / phone by USB  jack. I won’t tote this around but it is a cool toy to keep at home. Next time your mother in law scolds you over the phone, just watch the lips and imagine it’s her. That should take away the sting.
