Aiyo! iGallop hits Shanghai

As we often do after getting married unexpectedly, we went shopping for women's shoes this afternoon. Didn't find any shoes, but we did find a rather amusing piece of masturbatory exercise equipment on sale at the Golden Eagle Mall (the one behind Citic Square on Nanjing Xi Lu that no one ever goes to). We enjoyed the commercial on display, and we thought you might, too. Check out the video above.

We Googled "iGallop" and discovered that while this device was new to us (and maybe Shanghai?) it definitely isn't new. Someone YouTubed the TV commercial for the iGallop back in January. Looks like it launched in Singapore and Hong Kong in January, and bloggers, sex bloggers and newspapers noticed -- one girl even tried to use her boyfriend as a free iGallop. Looks like an English version of the iGallop ad was shown during the World Cup in some parts of the UK. And many people have flexed their Photoshop skillz and placed dildos and vibrators on photos of the iGallop. Panasonic, apparently, also has a similar product called JOBA. Here's a video of someone trying the JOBA in Hong Kong.

The iGallop is RMB 6,880 in Shanghai, and quite a bit cheaper on Amazon ... if you're into that kind of thing.
