    They sold the rights to make the magic wand about a decade ago. No longer Hitachi, alas.

    Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

    I thought Magic Wands were used almost exclusively for holesome activities.

    You're not supposed to put that thing into your hole.

    Seems like it would be a violent torturous way to make orifices much larger than they're supposed to be 😳

    Mitsubishi: pens, cars, nuclear power plants.

    They fucked up San onofre so bad it's now being decommissioned 😡

    It was a $680mill job, and SoCal Edison (SCE) had such an inept legal team, they missed a term in the contract with Mitsubishi which limited payout for failure within the 20yr warranty to $125mill.

    Can you fucking believe that shit? I only found this out after investigating why there was a $3 "decommissioning fee" on my first electric bill after moving to California.
