Apr 2 2008Surround Sound Chair Looks Ridiculous
There's a lot of things I'd do for awesome surround sound. These things include, but are not limited to: selling myself in the back of a U-Haul, lying, stealing, cheating on my taxes, drinking a gallon of milk in under an hour, and jumping out of a tall tree. However this D+S Surround Sound Chair just doesn't do it for me.
This chair prevents sound from reflecting off the walls and the ceiling and thus prevents it losing its vital character. The Chair has two speakers in front of you which is mounted on an adjustable tubing that can be fully adjusted. Two flared sound vents sit just next to your ears and look more like small trumpets. Two more circular speakers above your head complete the speaker quartet. And for some thumping bass, you have a nice sub woofer that sits neatly beneath the chair.
It costs $3,000. But if you're interested I would recommend waiting to pay until there are actual photographs proving its existence. Like those Bigfoot pictures. I was a complete non-believer until I saw those. Now, not only do I believe in monster trucks, but I think they're totally awesome.

Its like the chairs from the terminator ride in universal studios. Equally ugly and. I'm sure, craptastic.

A perfect example of what terrible things can come out of Google Sketchup in the wrong hands.

Dear Geekologie writer. This site rules. Let's keep it that way and not ruin anything with shitty renderings of non-existing products that even suck. Keep up the good standard.

So, uh, there are 6 speakers in the quartet of speakers? If you say so.
