USB Necktie 2 Looks Better, But Still Ugly

That odd purveyor of USB gear, Thanko, is back with its latest strange device of questionable usefulness. This time it's a rehash of that exceptionally ugly USB powered necktie fan from last year. Last year's tie was made from a plastic material and the fan intake was very obvious to anyone walking by (it's not like they wouldn't notice the USB cable running from your tie anyhow).

This year's USB Necktie 2 is very similar but made from fabric rather than plastic. It's ever so much more attractive, but I still stop short of saying it's nice looking. At least the fan is camouflaged behind the blue/gray fabric so you can't see it. The fan is still USB powered as well. What I don't get is why they don't simply make a USB fan small enough to fit into your normal neck tie.
