That's right, there's nothing like a taser to stop a hoodlum from roughing you up or robbing you blind. Shock the hell out of that criminal with a PINK Taser - just announced today (along with boring black, silver, and blue ones) at the 2007 Taser Conference in Chicago (who knew there was such a thing?)

Each cellphone-sized unit is about $300.

The company's co-founders also announced the XREP, a Taser bullet. Yes, a bullet. When shot from a regular 7-round shotgun, the frontal electrodes in the nose of the device penetrate the skin and "causes a certain amount of pain" - just enough, in fact, to make the recipient try and remove the bullet with their hand - in which they will recieve a complimentary shock to their system that completely locks down your hand so you cannot let go. At the same time, 3 ft copper wires with multiple spiked electrodes shoot out of the back of the bullet after impact, with the sole purpose of causing more pain in different parts of your body. Wicked! Each device is $99 and will be available sometime in 2008.
