The Power Strip of Love (via China and Iraq)

Photographer and geek Jake Appelbaum is carrying one of these things around with him on the road: a power strip with lots of different electrical plugs for different parts of the world. And, the port of love (upper left). We don't know much else about it, other than the fact that it's made in China, and comes by way of Iraq. Link

Update: Jake tells Boing Boing,

These things are super popular in Iraq. My friend in London brought about 7 of them back from Iraq. They're made in China and they've basically every plug outlet in the world on a single strip. It's made by a company called Zhong Sheng, AFAIK. It does variable voltage depending on input and tells what it's getting. So at the moment it's showing 220v and if you plugged it into a US outlet, it'd show 110v and apparently it goes to 300v which I assume is what's used somewhere… Where I have no idea. China perhaps? I think it's like $1 or $2 in Iraq. I'm not totally sure about the price in Iraq though, that's just a fuzzy memory. Online I think you can get them here.

And that prompts the question, do you know about alibaba.com? Perhaps you'd like to buy a ship, or a "Sell Vibration Sexy." You may not be able to find that damn power outlet on there but you can get something like it I'm sure.
