Great Idea Classic: More Remote Controls
Electronic Device: "PedRemote." Footpedel remote control for the television allowing hands-free channel surfing, two-fisted beer guzzling & potato chip eating, but also breast feeding and other legit two-handed activities. Sold at Sharper Image or maybe Sears and Radio Shack if we get desperate.
"Prestige Remotes." Solid gold universal remote control encrusted with diamonds, rubies, etc. for very high end consumer, sold through Neiman Marcus to appeal to person who doesn't want to have to hide their remote when important company comes. Also, fake gold, plastic jewel remotes. The Barbie remote. The transformer remote (turns into a dinosaur/robot). The vibrator/kiegal (sp) exerciser remote. The thighmaster remote. The butt-controlled remote. Think about WebTV tie-ins (did WebTV die or what?).
Note that after I posted the "PedRemote" idea to halfbakery.com, which has a lot of remote entries, I was informed that these already exist.
Prestige Remotes in solid gold are, I think, not yet around. But Chris's brother worked on some super-duper remote, and then Maureen Dowd wrote about some kind of mega remote the other day -- anyway, my point is, I think these ideas are pretty tired.
