Scott Adams Stole My Invention

Several years ago, my younger brother & sister and I, three extremely bored, snowed-in youngsters filmed a series of commercials. We created our own products and such and one of those was called, “Will You Shut Up?”. It provided an implant for your children, so the TV remote mute button would work on them as well. On our special TV offer, we were also providing, “I Can’t Hear You,” which blocked out “certain irritating noises.” So the product illustrated in the Dilbert comic below is not identical but stupidity did fall under the “irritating” description of our product. Either way, it’s a great product. I’m certain in many cases I’d never hear certain people talk ever again with such a device. *moment to enjoy the dream*

So now I get to go back to making a freelance site prototype and other Nanohub shit using only putty & vi. Yuck. Oh and have it all done tonight. Stupid portfolio waste of time bullshit killed my productivity this week.
