Did any one hear (or see) this?

A few days ago I was listening to The Chris Moyles Show On Radio X whilst out in the car one morning. (Just to explain, for the international users, Chris was the presenter of UK's most popular national radio show on the BBC until about ten years ago. In recent years he has returned on a national commercial station.) He and his team started talking about an item they vaguely described as an 'Electric Shock Machine' and using it live on air. Listening to Chris's description of the 'machine' I thought "That sounds familiar"! Later on that that day I saw this video posted on social media and spotted that the machine in question was, in fact, an ElectroHelix!
Chris's explanation that the team "found" the machine in the office left me with more questions than answers. I'm assuming they knew exactly what the machine was but didn't want to elaborate on Breakfast radio!
Nevertheless, I thought it might be interesting to post it here. They also did a follow up video a few days later.
Certainly nothing negative (no pun intended ) came from it but it not quite the expected use or the target audience, I assume? I guess any publicity is good publicity?
Here's a link to the original video, anyway. Shots of the 'machine' itself starts to appear from 1:04:-

The follow up video is here (they even mentioned the brand at one point):-

Might even be a useful 'lead' (again no pun intended! ) for the E-stim team to follow up on as they do regularly 'sail close to the wind' in this general area. For example, they've featured the Lovehoney advent calendar a few years, opening a door each day in on the radio in the run up to Christmas, which produced some entertaining radio as the team attempted to 'safely' describe the contents!
