  • this is not tongue powered, it's tongue driven

  • Hopefully the person didn't lose their tongue along with their legs or what not .. then that might be a fail.

  • well, if this is real, you's be a pretty good kisser after a day with this baby, i can say that... but yeah pretty useful device...

  • That is truly brilliant

  • Schloxictonkey YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE AND A MORON GOSH! damn i hope one day you can feel what it slike to be impaired or restrained from so much stuff like some pleople in wheelchairs are u are a heartless dick

  • wtf...?

  • go gt!

  • Ótima idéia! Seria ótimo também que esse tipo de equipamento não custasse tão caro, já que se trata de algo essencial para a vida de quem precisa. Infelizmente aqui no Brasil este tipo de material é muito caro.

  • i agree with Asurael, you cant tell if it's tongue powered or if it's remote controlled
