Dec 10 2009*Pew Pew*: Revolver 1-Function TV Remote
A remote in the form factor of a gun, what will they think of next? If you answered a remote in the shape of a magic wand that controls via accelerometer, too late -- they've already thought of that!
Sick of soaps? Does your partner's love of religious broadcasting leave you praying for an epiphany? Restore order in your living room and send a strong signal to the cowboys: there's a new sheriff in town and you're doing things your way. Just point and shoot to change the channel. It even plays a gunshot sound and comes with a sheriff badge!
The $17 remote can control ONE FUNCTION of your television (channel up OR down, volume up OR down, power), rendering it a huge piece of novelty shit. Jesus, just throw a shoe at the cable box like a normal person.
Thanks to Closet Nerd, who changes the channel the old fashioned way: with yardstick taped to another yardstick taped to a cane.

Should have a switch in place of safety that works as a directional switch so it's more than one function.

DO NOT WANT
After that kid yesterday blew his face off mixing nitroglycerin with his bubble gum I SURE AS SHIT don''t want to blast the flat screen through the wall watching for GW on dancing with the stars.
I already have a gun in the house & have sworn never to kill again

The only thing more useless that shoots is STOMPY's penis. Say, where is the little guy anyway?
8. Closet Nerd - December 10, 2009 11:00 AM
Usually, the only time I 'shoot' at the tv, is when I'm watching the SPICE channel *wink wink*

@7 he's a netbookjockey in a bathroom stall watching our every move while planning undetected attacks on a certain cafeteria snack machine
10. naas - December 10, 2009 11:15 AM
@8 you're married with kids & you have the spice channel? Damn, I bet you throw one hell of a curveball

I will try to combine my comments also by reading a little more before reacting, it'd be one less click on all your scrolling wheels I know. Sorry, been drinking a little this morning
12. Jiakasuma - December 10, 2009 11:18 AM
I am not interested
13. photoshop-police - December 10, 2009 11:19 AM

Reminds me of Persona4 for some reason....
15. Closet Nerd - December 10, 2009 11:22 AM
@10 I actually don't have the Spice Channel. I have enough DVDs and there is this thing I've heard people are using to search for porn... I think its called the "interwebs" or "internet" or something like that.....
I just figured the Spice Channel was a good reference to get my point accross.
I mean who doesn't remember turning to channel 95, and trying to adjust the tint, contrast & brightness to make those green boobs look more flesh like?
I know I'm not the only one.... right?
16. Closet Nerd - December 10, 2009 11:23 AM
@13 Good call... just sayin
17. LSDiesel - December 10, 2009 11:29 AM
@15, and all this time I thought you were talking about cooking. I mean who doesn't get off to iron chef cooking braised beef in a red-wine sauce? I know I'm not the only one....right?
18. Closet Nerd - December 10, 2009 11:37 AM
@17 I'm more of a Giada De Laurentiis kind of guy.... just sayin

Don't let the guy who reported the Lego gun owner see you with this.
20. bugshake - December 10, 2009 11:46 AM
Hmmm, I did answer "a remote in the shape of a magic wand that controls via accelerometer" MLIG
21. ThatGuy - December 10, 2009 11:47 AM
@17 i agree
22. naas - December 10, 2009 11:52 AM
@15 so what's wrong with green boobs? I mean, unless they're on a corpse.... What's wrong with green boobs assuming she's still alive?
23. Blastphemer - December 10, 2009 12:14 PM
@22
If green boobs were good enough for Capt. Kirk and Jabba the Hutt...well then by golly, they are good enough for me. Dark green nips FTW!
Green roast beef sandwiches...not so much.

The perfect gift for the redneck survivalist becuse Im sure the only people that would actually buy this is some redneck with a bad case of Paranoid Schizophrenia who insists on having his fully loaded smith&wesson beside him at all times "Fer wen them goddamm mynoritys come"... "Aww shit... BABY DARLIN!! I DUN SHOT THE TV AGAIN TRYING TO TURN THE DAMM CHANNEL"!!!! load all 16 kids in the truck, we goin to WALLMART!!!
25. Mike Bolton - December 10, 2009 1:46 PM
I mean, are we talking big green boobs, because then those are okay with me.. It's the little green boobs that make women look like aliens. And nothing turns me off more than an alien with little boobs, yucky!
26. Jaded Icon - December 10, 2009 2:11 PM
@ 25
Unless they also have a small body like the fairy from Legend of Neil.....
27. naas - December 10, 2009 3:42 PM

28. Captain Untouchable - December 10, 2009 4:20 PM
For $17, just get two for some super-awesome Yosemite Sam channel changing action: one for up; one for down.
