Thoughts

So apparently there is a gentleman who has too much free time on his hands. Listening to Drew & Mike on WRIF radio in Detroit this morning, I heard the interview with the inventor of the TV-B-Gone. Sure his rational for his brain child was poor, but the gadget itself is pretty cool...in theory. The device (shown) is roughly the size of the key fob for locking and unlocking the doors on your car and has a single button that can turn off any television. It is essentially a palmable universal remote with the sole ability of turning off television. The item lists at only $14.99 and will actually turn the TV back on, too. This will become the number 1 tool for bitter people and individuals who think they are funny, though are not. The TV-B-Gone will be an outcry for attention, it really serves no other purpose. Marketed for people who want to turn off a television that no one is watching, the company cannot keep up with orders. They have apparently underestimated demand. I guess this means they have also underestimated human kind's inherent trait to be obnoxious.
