When you see one of these in a Sharper Image catalog, remember that you saw it here first.
I have to assume that this is illegal, since I haven’t seen it yet. It’s certainly evil. It’s a car gizmo, a scrolling messenging system that would plug into the lighter receptacle. The messaging scroll would be affixed to the top 1/5 or so of the windshield, either front or back. Several canned messages would come with the system, like “thank you,” or “I’m stopping quickly” or such-like, but the real sell would be in the user-defined messages, which would probably run along the lines of “fuck you, asshole” or “you’ve got a blinker, use it, shithead.”
These things would sell like hotcakes.
I could make millions.
But it would be evil.

Holy shit, I’ve been planning to market one of those for years! Trouble is, I’d probably cause an accident while painstakingly typing out the foulest epithet imaginable.
