It’s insane to go anywhere these days
\nwithout a reliable weapon.<\/p>\n

\nBut with so many awkward and ungainly choices,
\nhow does one find something suitably chic?<\/p>\n

Taser International has the answer.<\/p>\n

Its team of top artists and designers have created
\nstylish tasers for the discerning eye.<\/p>\n

Check out this sporty pink number, ladies.
\nTaser International made it just for you. <\/p>\n

Sleek, stylish and, best yet…<\/p>\n

\"image\" <\/p>\n

…a little squeeze sends 50,000 volts of electric shock
\nto confound any villain.<\/p>\n

Simply ideal for the fashion-forward crowd.<\/p>\n

The taser design, with its svelte yet sensuous contours,
\nhas also begun to integrate more organic motifs.<\/p>\n

A powerful reminder of man’s unity with all living things.<\/p>\n

\"image\" <\/p>\n

With such a high level of aesthetics, the taser is becoming an
\nobjet d’art<\/em><\/i>. What else in your collection can reduce
\nsomeone to a writhing bowl of jelly? <\/p>\n

Could the taser designers display their work at MOMA or the Louvre?
\nOf course they could.<\/p>\n

But these artists are dedicated to the transformation of everyday culture.
\nThey toil so that we may live full lives of creative imagination.<\/p>\n

And now they’ve dreamt up something truly new and marvelous.<\/p>\n

Behold the Taser Music Player Holster, which holds
\nyour favorite taser and an MP3 player.<\/p>\n

Brilliant!<\/p>\n

Everyone knows it\u2019s most unpleasant when you tase a man
\nand he starts screaming like a little child.<\/p>\n

Now you can remain blissfully oblivious to his blood-curdling cries
\nas you groove to the musical stylings of Phil Collins. <\/p>\n

It’s a Taser International motto: \u201cMixing Music with Security.\u201d<\/em><\/i><\/p>\n

\"image\" <\/p>\n

Want to subdue an unruly questioner at a political event?<\/p>\n

Go ahead! <\/p>\n

Just set the volume high for your fave tunes
\nto drown out any silly \u201cDon\u2019t Touch me Bro!\u201d
\nor “Please, God, no, no!!”
\nand then tase, tase, tase away!<\/p>\n

\"image\" <\/p>\n

We admit it. <\/p>\n

Our harsh denunciation<\/a> last year of tasers was wildly flawed.<\/p>\n

We displayed evidence showing that tasers were dangerous
\nand frequently misused by poorly trained police and security guards.<\/p>\n

As if that<\/em><\/i> really mattered. <\/p>\n

We ignored the beauty of it all and in so doing, failed in our role as artists:<\/p>\n

Serving those who depend on us.<\/p>\n
