Cigarette pack handsfree headset is bizarre, remarkably addictive

Maybe it's just because we had a rough weekend, but we've yet to piece together what the purpose of this device is. Officially, it's a novelty cigarette pack-shaped earphone headset for Nokia / Samsung / Sony Ericsson mobiles. That's to say it enables you to just talk into the pack rather than into your phone. At just $6.79, we'd love to say this would at least make a good gag gift, but honestly, we can't figure out what's to "get." Hmmph.

it's only "handsfree" if you rubberband it around your head.

There aren't any laws against driving while holding a pack of cigarettes against your head.

If I were one of those big cigarette companies, I will tie-up with the creator or better yet buy the idea, then use this as promotion material. :)

Freakin ljit nailed it. No law against talking to a cigarette pack while driving...even in California. Soon there will be hamburger, milk shake, curling iron handsets to hook to your phone, so you can appear not to be talking on your phone while steering with your knees.
