[thecat]'s right: Work the "popup" angle. This was [thecat]'s suggestion re: "101 things to do with the morning erection".
Try creating a book called "Peniscapes". It would look like a thick-paged children's book (but for adults, of course) with a big hole through the center of each page.
To
begin, you place the book over your erect penis, so that your penis sticks out from the middle of each page.
As you turn the pages, each page depicts a historical or imaginary landmark (e.g. Leaning Tower of Pisa, Washington Monument, Empire State Building, etc.), and your penis is the star.
...BTW, a "multi-player version" for gay couples would also be a fun novelty. Think World Trade Center.
Popup Book For Adults

Plenty of nudity, apparently, but the popups are mostly Zeppelins. [DrCurry, Oct 17 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

Spot the difference ! Nice to have a global image of one of your ideas though [xenzag, Jul 20 2006]

Didn't Jello Biafra do something along these lines? Or was it Frank Zappa? <Scurrying off to look for links> |

// Won't it be difficult to turn the pages, once you've got yourself inserted? // |
|
| |
Authors have been struggling with this problem for generations, and have not found an answer. Unfortunately, it's the art that ultimately suffers. |
|
| |
Watch out for paper cuts! |
|
| |
I'm not sure that "Culture" is necessarily the right place for this. And while I'm all for surreal modification of landscapes, I fear this ode to the one-eyed god of gratification would prove a bit monotonous. Maybe if it mixed in other body parts with sexual connotations? |
|
| |
// Won't it be difficult to turn the pages, once you've got yourself inserted? // |
|
| |
I find an odd existentialist truth to that... |
|
| |
My first "Facts of Life" book featured pop-up anatomy. |
|
| |
A variation, which avoids the page-turning conundrum, is to have a series of illustrated boards - like those they have at fairs where you put your head through to get your picture taken. In fact, I see a whole range of adult novelty fairground possibilities. |
|
| |
Final thought - I read "Peniscope". The mind boggles. |
|
| |
Surely, one wouldn't have the balls to plow through this book in one sitting? |
|
| |
Perhaps Pfizer could go into publishing. |
|
| |
"members everywhere" Hah! |
|
| |
Like the title (so elegant and arty). |
|
| |
Like the reference to ME (so early and so positive). |
|
| |
Like the amusing possibilities of the ensuing conversation (yet to be -fully- realized) |
|
| |
Question: Does my (deliberate) use of repetition, spacing, etc. make this comment a [oh my god!(IIDE)]
list. |
|
| |
No. Nice to see you don't think so either. Ah, progress. Of course, if I had written it exactly the same but NUMBERED the items ... |
|
| |
Jello Biafra Rocks IMHO.
One word: Lard! |
|
| |
"Watch out for paper cuts!" |
|
| |
Someone baked my idea!!! (see link) |
|
| |
Do you think they stole it? Do I have any redress? I nearly fell off the toilet when I opened my Time Out New York magazine and saw this. |
|
| |
[phundog ]I share your frustration - but
you probably have zero redress.
Publishing on Bakery is a form of
disclosure. If you have a great,
commercially viable idea , then it's best
to copyright it first. You could try
threatening them, and use the site as
proof of date of original publication -
but if they go to court, the expert legal
fees may be huge. I have a batch of
ideas that i would never put up here -
stick with the half-baked stuff, or just
enjoy the fact that you thought of it first
and damn the feckless plagiarisers. |
|
| |
I am going to put a link to one of my
ideas, for Lipo-buttons and an advert
that followed it - you tell me if it was
copied. What can I do ? - nothing
except laugh. Bun for your originality + |
|
| |
Damn those idea-poaching Polish ad-men! |
|
| |
// If you have a great, commercially viable idea , then it's best to copyright it first. |
|
| |
Xenzag probably means "patent," not "copyright". One can't copyright ideas, and you don't have to copyright your text - you retain copyright, even when publishing here. |
|
| |
I recommend you smile at the coincidence and enjoy the fact that you didn't have to lift a finger, and didn't have to risk thousands of dollars in production costs for an adult novelty, yet get to see your idea realized. (And the production could have been a lot worse.) |
|
| |
[jutta], just out of curiousity, can one prove in a court that they have rights to an idea (using their posting here as proof)? Is there any way to prove one didn't edit an old idea to make it seem as though they had come up with it first? |
|
| |
If you want to prove that you thought of something, get a patent, or publish it in a journal for purposes of disclosure. |
|
| |
And if you want legal advice, talk to a lawyer; good intentions nonwithstanding, don't post questions to an online forum and expect the answers to be helpful, or correct. |
|
| |
Do these capes come in different sizes? (mines' a large, obviously). |
|
| |
AHHH I do not need this running around
my head right now!! Running Penises!
Round and Round, Dancing! |
|
| |
You been hanging out in Second Life again? |
|
| |
In 1983 I was walking down a Tokyo street with a local friend when a blaring, brightly-bannered speaker truck raced by. I asked my friend what it was all about, and she said, "They're getting ready for the general erection." |
