Tired of having to lug around your Taser AND your iPod? Tell me about it! Described as “fashion with a bite,” this new Taser/mp3 player is perfect for those on the go who also might need to suddenly disable an attacker. It holds 1 GB and roughly 50,000 volts.

$300 gets you the beaut, with a custom holster running around $70. Looking at the array of colors, they’re obviously aimed at women. Is Tasering … fashionable now?
