I'm no marketing genius but ... (Part II)

After my last sojourn into second guessing the demand (or lack thereof) for some of the products on the market today, I didn't expect to be doing it again so soon. Alas, I should have known better because, as I have noted previously in this space, David Hannum continues to be right. So here we go again:


First up we have this nice little miniature pistol/watch. Small enough to fit in any pocket and just the thing when you need to know the time in those airports, banks, convenience stores, schools and police stations.

Hat Tip to Nerd Approved.


Although not quite on the market yet, a Japanese company has developed a robotic Master of Ceremonies which will assist at the wedding of one of its designers. Unfortunately, the divorce will still require human beings.

What home or office could possibly be complete without the Farting Gnome? The FG has a movement sensor and when someone gets close, it proceeds to crank one out at top volume and follows up with rude comments. If your narrow minded wife or girlfriend won't let you bring it home, just put it on your desk at the office where you can impress your boss and scare the night cleaning crew.



Finally, we have the wearable seat. Essentially this is a chair worn like a backpack. Go ahead and be among the first to be able to sit anywhere, anytime and simultaneously make a fashion statement that says "I look like a pink bumblebee."
