The Best Tech You Can't Get in the US

DigitalDame2 writes "The US isn't always on the cutting edge of technology. We see a new product release that has just the blend of styling and features we've been looking for, but alas, it's only available overseas. From the Thanko MP4 watch to Sony's OLED TV, these are the hottest new gadgets to drool over, that you can't get here."

    They *need* cutting-edge displays like that to keep up with the continuing advances in tentacle hentai technology.

    I have to tell you that your concern about Canadians having larger penises is true. Did you think your girlfriend was coming up here to canoe, for crap sake? It's just common sense. Canada is always so cold the well-documented Unheated Swimming Pool Effect would render us unable to breed if we didn't have bigger penises.

    Call it sour grapes if you want, but I'm not really clamoring over a hip-hop, breakdancing, mp3-playing egg.
    Although I'll gladly pay to import whatever drugs the Sony execs were taking when they gave this thing the green light.

    Seeing as how I occasionally drive through mud puddles higher than the door tops of an M3, I put it somewhat above.

    Of course there are plenty of eurosport vehicles that also qualify for the "can't get in the US", I'm into the militutilitary flavors.

    But just about everyone can pick out the US and their country.

    I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to revoke your geek license until you turn in the watch. If you insist on wearing shiny objects, you may be issued a Leatherman.

    You should let them buy you a new keyboard. If your keyboard is operating properly, you should let them pay for remedial English classes.

    If neither of those help, then the problem is most likely genetic - ask them to pay for your vasectomy; the rest of the human race will be grateful.
