Could this be the ultimate USB-powered gadget that tops every other USB device we've ever seen? Yes, if it were still on sale. Apparently schoolmarms are alive and well in the UK, as local store Marks & Spencer had to can the product just a week after it went on sale.
While she was still alive, the 8-inch pole dancer spun around as music played, and would "entertain you at any time of the day or night." Now, this is the result of a search at M&S's online store:
You searched for "pole dancer", more results were found under "polo dancer"
Nooooooo!

Reminds me of the chick in Team America: World Police
mmmmmmmmmmm! I need some Johnson's body oil and rubber gloves to get some of this plastic action!
Man, I could've made more with these on Ebay than those worthless PS3 machines!
bignaz2k, it's the spittin' image of her alright!
Now I need tiny 1 and 5 dollar bills.
This blows away those USB Heated slippers by a MILE!
We heard about this on the weekend. Marks & Spencer is an institution here in the UK - our parents shopped there and their parents before them etc. In the last few years they've undergone a "hip" operation - you wouldn't have been able to buy this kind of thing 5 years ago there (well, you still can't I guess....), so this is progress. Some do-gooder put the boot in and killed her. Typical of the nanny state we seem to live in here nowadays. What's offensive about her, I'd like to know. She doesn't even take her clothes off for gawd's sake! If she offends, don't buy her I say. I'm a little p***ed that I can't go out and buy one now................bloody do-gooders.
I'll never die.
Thank goodness the English are here to protect the world from the scourge of bikini-clad miniature plastic USB-powered pole dancers!
My morals are still safely intact, even if my penchant for useless USB gizmos remains as strong as ever.
I'm hoping that another country finds a way to offer this type of item. I'm not against stimulating another nation's economy to acquire one. I'm picturing huge shipping containers packed with price-slashed USB pole dancers sitting on a dock in Liverpool or somewhere, waiting for a new home. Fear not, tiny plastic USB-powered pole dancing women, the free market will rescue you! (If not the market, then at least a handful of those NYC street vendors that sell the $15 Rollex watches, I guess.)
The trouble is, though, that I keep all my USB gadgets on my office desk at work. Methinks HR would look askance at something like this... for good reason.
How Do We Get These things to America I want One NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Somebody has got to market this In US&A!!!
What's the bikini for?
So are they being wholesaled out to an internet discounter? This would be so cool for the office.
M&S - Pole Dancing - No wonder the Empire's all going to sh!t......
They should go back to selling flannel underwear and those really chewy toffees with the metallic blue wrappers - my teeth were never the same!
Need to repaint one with purple skin, green hair, no pupils and half a gallon of mascara, and sell it as 'WoW Nightelf Dancer' for 100$ a shot, they'd make a fortune.
Where do I get one? I am always looking for cool and unique USB things to add to my collection. My recent additions were a snowbot and a air cannon.
