Oct 15 2007Remote Is Fragile, Will Break & Make You Sad
The Ceramic Remote Control, from designer Yuta Watanabe, is, you guessed it -- fragile! The idea is that since you can't just throw it down on the floor or table with gusto, that it will never get lost. You'll always set it down somewhere safe and easy to find. Interesting concept, but I'm sticking to my remote, which is a six foot pole with a chicken wing taped to the end. It never gets lost, and if I accidentally drop it over the side of the bed, the chicken wing attracts the dog, who picks it up for me. Not to brag, but it did win the "most delicious remote" award at a recent contest.

So this involves me buying a new remote every time I drop this one, right?
They could've made the battery compartment break apart and force you to put it together again, giving a delay or something. But I guess the whole thing breaking on you is probably the better way to do it, the revenue a company would get by doing this is purely coincidental. *cough*
