The Next Generation of the RAPS Range for Professional Well-Wishers
Revolutionizing professional well-wishing with improved stealth technology
Cloud Cuckoo-Land. November 19, 2014. RAPS Inc., presents a further model in the pocket shrine segment. Based on the otherwise identical RAPS and RAPSi, the brand-new RAPSpro combines all the technical advantages of the RAPS and RAPSi-system, with individualised features, designed to fit professional use. The ‘pro’ in the name of this pocket shrine indicates the particularly discreet and enduring design concept with which the RAPSpro joins the line of RAPS and RAPSi-shrines conceived especially to fulfil the needs of professional well-wishers.
The stealth capacity of the RAPSpro has been increased to match the individual users’ professional background – and is twice as stealthy as the RAPS and RAPSi. This guarantees that the RAPSpro is immediately ready to use in almost all work settings. This is of particular advantage when using the RAPSpro in the workplace, on a business trip or in professional environments, as the lid image matches the users’ professional context and avoids suspicion and detection. This means that Well-Wishers can now react to events at the work place with even greater spontaneity to relieve stress or lift spirits in almost every professional situation.
In terms of design, the RAPSpro is based on the typical characteristics of the RAPS Drool Tool System™ and focuses in particular on robustness and a long product lifespan. The use of an extremely scratch-resistant metal container for its outer casing is one example of this. This material is almost unbreakable and offers resistance to many kinds of wear and stresses, meaning that the RAPSpro is ideally equipped for many years of use. Thanks to an anti-reflective coating on both sides of the tin, inside image reviewing is now even better, even in difficult lighting conditions, and allows well-wishers to assess and check every aspect of the contained object of desire with optimum precision both during and after exposure to stress and/or boredom.
The unobtrusive and minimalistic look of the RAPSpro provides even greater discretion in decisive drooling situations. Many well-wishers who already use RAPS and RAPSi-shrines actually tape over the sparkly RAPS covers to make their drooling facilitator as unobtrusive as possible. For precisely this reason, this identifying feature has been omitted from the new pro version. Instead, the top lid of the RAPSpro depicts a subtle decor which can be individually adapted by RAPS Inc. based on the users’ profession.
Other new details of the pocket shrine include a mixture of RL and chaRActer photos to stimulate subject-oriented drooling . The corresponding scenes are shown in pairs for optimum drool satisfaction. This avoids the need to change pocket shrines to balance professional and private subject drooling, offers greater imaginative freedom and allows well-wishers to concentrate fully on composing their fantasies.
The RAPSpro is available now from authorised RAPS dealers. The prototype has been produced for use in a theological environment and is currently being tested in Eastern Germany. The RAPSpro complements the RAPS and RAPSi. All three shrines will be marketed together.

Thanks for that compliment, Besotted.

It is just so much fun, perverting it for reasons of fun and sarcasm.
