Let’s go ahead and agree that these “Kone” Dirt Devil hand vacs bear an uncanny resemblance to butt plugs. The Dirt Devil PR house says that the company is, “…thinking outside of the closet – literally.”

Can’t they just announce that the Kone designer, Karim Rashid is gay? No probs with that, but a glance at Rashid’s site might mean the new movement in design is a direct reflection of the New York designer’s sex life. A toy and a vacuum? How utilitarian of you.
