This has got to be one of the weirder ones that I have come acrossed in a long long time. This little item is aptly named Boob Doctor. I do not really know exactly what this device actually does for that part of the human anatomy or to whom the manufacturers intend on selling the Boob Doctor to (i.e. old people, people with man boobies, etc.). You definitely have to credit the geek that invented this “sucker”. For those of you that are looking at scoring one of these for Valentine’s Day, you can only get them in Korea.
