Laser-powered stripper platform with built-in iPod dock is this year’s MUST HAVE gift

Well, the iPod connector has now officially been put into everything. Tasked with the the challenge of creating a “coffee table”, London-based designer Moritz Waldemeyer has gone WAAAY above and beyond the call of duty by creating some sort of laser-beam themed GoGo Dancing platform, complete with smoke machine, and yes, an iPod Dock.
