—I nominate the cell phone—
gangsta rap didn’t make the list?
Infomercials.
Didn't Romney use this for a 12 hour drive to Canada once?
btw I pick up my new puppy Joyce in 2 weeks when she will be 8 weeks old...
Isn't she Greeeaaat?!
The teleprompter. Without it, Obama would not have been president.
Was it invented, or did it evolve?
The Cue Cat.
>Isn’t she Greeeaaat?!
She has spots...
Socialism...
Birth control pill
I second that!
You’re right. Gangsta rap’s more of an evolution. Late 70’s to early 80’s rap was pretty tame i.e. Sugar Hill Gang, Grand Master Flash, Run DMC, FatBoys, etc. Then mid-to-late 80’s started getting grittier with the arrival of groups like Boogie Down Productions, Public Enemy, Erik B and Rakim, NWA, et al.
Seems the increase of violence and deviant behavior glorified in rap music has some correlation to the length of time that the cities from which it hails, remain under Democratic control.
Who’d a thunk it?
I still have a few of those, one I actually use semiregularly. I use a video and CD database that will use it to get the UPC code to fill out all the fields so I don't have to type. It was a lot cheaper than a real bar code scanner.
Now the idea of giving millions of them for free to try to get people to go through CueCat's website to advertise to them was pretty dumb. Doubly so was expecting that hackers wouldn't figure out the weak encryption on it to turn it into a general purpose bar code scanner.
Of the stupid inventions listed here I could use the iPod finger to convert from fat finger to fine tip. I would rather have a stylus, but the stylus I've seen for capacitative screens costs $15 compared to a pressure stylus for a Palm computer at 3 for $8.
If you’ve named her Joyce, she’s already spoiled. What breed is she?
So is it ShamWow, the guy selling them, his rather obnoxious headset, or all three?!
Glass eyes.
