Good Idea?

I have a secret confession to make. I love infomercials. I even love the not-quite-an-infomercial "As Seen On TV" product ads. The products that they put out there, especially during holiday times, are, for lack of a better word, absurd. Every year there's a product that makes me scratch my head and wonder, "There can't possibly be any people dumb enough to pay a nickel for this crap. Who the hell forgets where they parked so frequently that they need a digital audio recorder to carry around? And if you're THAT forgetful, won't you just forget to record where you parked or where you left the recorder? Won't forgetful people forget to order the product? [Expletives] society!"

This year is no exception. I hereby nominate the "Loud 'N Clear" as this year's winner. The Loud 'N Clear helps the Grampa Simpsons of the world hear every word around them by "disguising" as a Blue Tooth set. That's right, it's not that grandma is as deaf as a plywood, she's just eager not to miss that important conference call about Matlock. Other nominations welcome.
