Big-upping the fat girls

iFat

July 15th, 2009

On this list of 10 Dumbest iPhone Apps is something called FatBurner2k:

It’s a good thing Apple put this app in the “Entertainment” category. Otherwise one might be tempted to take seriously the claim that it can “help your body consume fat molecules using disharmonic, molecule to molecule, physical oscillations.”

Translation: It vibrates on your tummy. It will not, however, have the same effect — as the developer implies — as “moving and shaking…at some expensive members-only gym where people just stand around drinking coffee trying to look hot all day.”

It’s a vibrating fat belt for our time! Other dumb apps include ones called “Sexy Girl Talk” and “Hair Clinic.” Oh well, it was just a matter of time. Thanks to CG for the heads up.

    One good app is called Lose It. It’s free and it helps you track your calories and exercise and keep up with your goals.

    For some reason this reminded me of one of the other stupid apps you have to pay for. it turns y our ipod into a mug of beer and if you tip it, it makes a glug glug sound and the beer depletes like it’s being drunk.

    Prior to this, the only vibrating iPhone/iPod app I had heard of had an entirely different purpose.

    Liza,

    I’d think if someone can drop several hundred bucks on a phone, they could afford something a bit better suited to that purpose, right? Right?! o_O

    Weird thing about the original article — the title of the page and the link from here to there say 10 apps. The headline of the list says 8, which is the actual # of apps in the list. I wonder why the other 2 were removed?
