No, it's not what you think. Or maybe it is. Jamie Hewlett, the cartoonist/designer best known for creating the Gorillaz' unique look, has contracted out his services to Jimmyjane, a manufacturer of "high-end" sex toys and other naughty items. Hewlett designed six different vibrators, each in a separate color and featuring a fictional character from posh club London nightclub Kabaret's Prophecy, another partner in this venture. Each mechanical dildo is part of the "Ultimate Members" collection, and retails for $275 each, or $1650 for the whole set. Which sounds to me like a ridiculous amount to pay for a vibrator, but really, it's tough to monetize that kind of thing. I mean you could pay someone else a couple hundred bucks to do it for you I guess, and so maybe the vibrator pays for itself after a couple sessions, but...umm...I'm going to stop writing this news blurb now.
