Giant Consumer Electronic Equipment Manufacturer Wants to Squash the Tiny Couch Potato Tormentor
If your TV, Stereo, DVD, CD, VCR, Satellite/Cable TV box, Home Automation System or even Computers that have an Infra Red wireless keyboard are doing strange things it might be because you have been ‘pranked’. So before disconnecting all the cables, calling a repairman, or the Manufacturer, check to see whether a practical jokester (often a friend or family member) has setup and hidden the latest new gizmo, the Couch Potato Tormentor. It’s easy to hide & much smaller than a 15 pack of chewing gum. The Couch Potato Tormentor is perhaps the most unusual, or some might say the most diabolical, high tech product to hit the market in recent years.
Bullhead City, AZ (PRWEB) March 8, 2005 -- If your TV, Stereo, DVD, CD, VCR,
Satellite/Cable TV box, Home Automation System or even Computers that have an
Infra Red wireless keyboard are doing strange things it might be because you
have been ‘pranked’. So before disconnecting all the cables, calling a
repairman, or the Manufacturer, check to see whether a practical jokester (often
a friend or family member) has setup and hidden the latest new gizmo, the Couch
Potato Tormentor. It’s easy to hide & smaller than a 15 pack of chewing gum.
The Couch Potato Tormentor is perhaps the most unusual, or some might say the
most diabolical, high tech product to hit the market in recent years.
For
Play Electronics, LLC founder and President, Marc Goldstone stated: “As long as
responsible people use the Couch Potato Tormentor in fun then no harm done. Like
with most products it can be used for beneficial purposes or just to cause
mischief. In the interest of avoiding the latter, we recommend that the Couch
Potato Tormentor not be used with IR wireless Computer Keyboards due to the
remote possibility of causing data loss. When my computer displays the dreaded
blue screen it has always been due to Sir Bill’s OS run amok, not the Couch
Potato Tormentor.”
The Couch Potato Tormentor is a true learning
universal remote control. Like units which cost $100 or more, it learns a single
command of your choice from one of your IR remote controls. This is however
where the similarity ends. After completing a one minute setup, operation is
best described by thinking of the Couch Potato Tormentor as a ‘Gremlin’ which at
seemingly random time intervals transmits the learned command. So imagine your
victim is watching a DVD on his/her Television when in the middle of the show,
the DVD suddenly ejects from the player, or in an instant you find yourself
watching a regular TV station instead of your movie. This may happen every few
minutes or every few hours. It won’t take more than several hours or days before
the practical joke has run its course. So just place the unit where it can
torment someone else and enjoy the fun!
With the press exposure devoted
to the Couch Potato Tormentor it isn’t surprising that we have been contacted by
a leading consumer electronics manufacturer demanding that our Patent Pending
device be limited so as not to control their products. Of course this would
limit your ability to control your own equipment, so we respectfully declined
their offer. For the time being the Couch Potato Tormentor still controls
virtually all Infra Red remote controlled devices.
The Couch Potato
Tormentor can be purchased online exclusively at our WEB site http://www.couchpotatotormentor.com and the best part, it
costs only $14.95 + Shipping & Handling
