Far Out from the Far East: USB air filtration mask




Man, I hope I never work anywhere that would have me thinking wearing one of these is a good idea. Straight from Japan comes the USB-powered mask, allowing you to filter out all the SARS and avian flu germs floating around your infected cubicle. Not to mention cooties!

This thing is just flat-out creepy. Also, why is it USB powered? What if you go outside into the germ-filled air? Then what, you're just screwed? I don't think the global health situation is so dire that we need to be plugged into personal air filtration devices quite yet. Maybe in a few years, but come on, let's enjoy the last few years of pre-apocalyptic living for as long as possible, shall we?
