What is Leo's Lastest Crap from Sky Mall!

This week Leo unpacked his SomaWave Helmet, the device that won the “What New Crap From Sky Mall Buy Next?” poll. What did he think of it? First let’s see the Sky Mall description:

Melt away stress and tension. Enter a state of euphoria. It's like having thousands of tiny fingers stimulate your scalp! Vibration includes neck and back of head! Disconnect from the world you know. Release stress and tension from your every-day life. Euphoria is only moments away. Slip on our state of the art, scientifically designed SomaWave Helmet and feel your stress dissolve into the ultimate relaxation experience. Take the SomaWave Helmet anywhere you go. Use it at your desk, on your commute, or the while you relax in front of TV. It's easy to use and portable with a built in rechargeable battery. Caution: Do not wear while operating heavy machinery. The SomaWave Helmet's euphoria inducing waves may produce sleep or trance-like states of consciousness. Measures: 10"x 6.5"x 7". Uses: A/C adapter (included) or 3 AAA batteries, not included. $79.95

Leo’s reaction? You can use rechargeable batteries, but they aren’t included even though the description says “built in rechargeable battery”.  As put it on he said: “Ouch” several times, not a good sign. He turned the vibration level all the way up and said it made him feel like he was going to heave! He thought it was pretty awful, so asked Lisa to try it. Lisa’s first reaction: “Ouch”, this hurts, just putting it on. Lisa left it on for less than a minute and said it also made her feel sick. Leo pronounced the SomaWave a firm “Don’t Buy!”
