I couldn't wait till Christmas so I clicked on the "Add to Cart" button as soon as possible. I recommend you do the same before this gets sold out!"

RTFA man! It is USB 2.0!

From the article: The George Foreman USB iGrill conveniently connects to your home or office PC using USB 2.0 technology

(I cannot believe I actually posted a RTFA comment about something that is a joke in the first place... my apologies)

I SO need one of these. If only I knew someone in Japan.

Someone keeps putting pictures of improbable USB devices seen in Japanese stores on HardOCP. Stuff like electric blankets. I found the idea of a USB Foreman Grill plausible until they claimed it was powered from the 100 millivolt USB connection :)

George Foreman! Pshah! Jimmy Dean Sausages. Now that's a winner.

Not to mention a wiener.
