We thought the beer hat had the market cornered when it came to a product, which, if its female or more generally-speaking, human-repellent qualities were applied elsewhere, could be used to defend the US-Mexico border. However, we were dead wrong.
Dubbed the Stupidest Invention of 2010 by Gawker, the TV Hat is either a technophile’s dunce-cap or something that would make David Cronenber wet his bed. The chapeau—-it needn’t be said here, but not recommended for driving, love-making, light dinner conversation, the opera, walking the dog, mixed martial arts or most activities one can engage in— features “an exceptionally long brim with a magnifying glass inside it so that you can actually see the screen on your iPod, iPhone, or other video-playing devices.”
As we noted elsewhere, we thought the notion of television being responsible for killing brain cells had never been so graphically rendered as in the movie Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer wherein Hank and a redneck buddy, dispatch some poor sod with the one-two punch soldering iron / TV smashed over the top of the head. Though we have no definitive proof, just being in the presence of this device is a kind of neuro-degeneration by proxy.
Someone should make a video destroying this and post it on Youtube
