In this article, Philips has invented a device that will disable the remote control on your television during commercials. It will also disable the fast forward features if you record the program with a DVR or DVD burner. Why? Because we all want that.
The corporations on our planet are such whores. I say this because they’ll screw anybody and everybody for a few bucks. Why would you invent something every living person on the planet would hate and something that would make everybody’s life miserable?
In the movie Aliens, Ripley sums up the corporate mindset in one phrase, “I don’t know who is worse, us or them? At least you don’t see them (the Aliens) screwing everybody over for company profits.”
The real problem with this invention is our economy is supposed to be built on the idea of supply and demand. So if there is no demand for something it should die, right? Wrong. Supply and demand only REALLY matter when it comes to the enrichment of profits. What I mean by this is instead of the supply and demand principle our economy is built on the profit model principle.
In the profit model principle, if something can earn a profit you MUST create a market even if there is no market for it. This is accomplished through corporate sponsored government regulations or laws that create unnecessary and unwanted markets. Corporations support government regulations only when they create wealth. Regulations that support the enrichment of communities or the environment are fought because even if they are good for the entire population they cut into profits.
If companies can invent, patent and standardize anything that makes a profit regardless of demand, what keeps them from inventing:
• Lenses for glasses and contacts that muffle color.
• Car engines that only last 50,000 miles and burn 5 gallons of gas for every mile traveled.
• Soleless shoes.
• Pants with only one leg (cuts the cost of producing pants in half).
• Inkless pens.
• Computer keyboards with no vowels, numbers or punctuation symbols.
• Cell phones with no speakers.
• Cell phones with only 10 minutes of time before they completely die.
• Radio stations with 50 minutes of commercials per hour (we already have this now; it’s called AM radio).
• Controllers for console games have only one button.
• Treadles tires.
• Light bulbs that last three hours and muffle light.
• Heated refrigerators.
• Cooling heaters.
• Toeless socks.
• A plan to charge everybody for air (this would be “good for the economy”).
• New standards requiring all new homes to have no doors or windows.
• Keyless locks.
• A cover charge to get into grocery stores (we already have these too; they're called Sam’s Club and Costco).
• Duct tape with no sticky
• Calendars with no dates on them.
• Condoms so neither person has an orgasm (barbed for no one's pleasure).
I would like to send a message to Philips from the new keyboard mentioned above: fck y

Mimi,
Are toeless socks just leg warmers worn higher?
I've seen toeless socks, too.
This remote control idea SUCKS big time, but I can kinda sorta see their viewpoint. The commercials are what pay for TV shows, and if the target audience isn't watching them, then the TV shows won't be able to attract advertisers. It SUCKS, but, if I remember correctly, that's what pays their bills. :/
odderie,
When I buy my television I should be able to control it however I choose. The last time I checked, the advertisers do not pay for my televsiion set so they should not govern it. Maybe if they had more creative ads people would want to watch them.
Jeff,
This is an insult to escorts everywhere! ;-)
