Since the dawn of history, man has dreamt of a utopia where his kind would never, ever have to move, where the entire journey from cradle to grave would cover maybe ten feet at the most. Vestigial anachronisms like legs would wither away. Who needs to walk around when handheld electronic devices satisfy all your nutritional, spiritual, and reproductive needs? Universal remote controls like today's RCA unit are a step forward in the march toward total indolence, but if we're ever going to unlock the vast potential laziness inside each of us, we must do more.
Create a remote control with a ridiculous or redundant application, and show it in action.
These delicious Funyons would taste even better if they were delivered directly into my mouth by remote control. Lifting a toothbrush is just so much effort - I'll start brushing my teeth when it's as easy as pushing a button. And, tragically, occasionally the remote control may fall a few feet beyond our grasp. Wouldn't it be great to have a remote for your remote?
Post the pictures here in the discussion thread by 11:59 PM CST on Sunday, February 26, 2006. Prizes are $20/$50/$100 for 3rd/2nd/1st. The rules and criteria for winning: our panel of geniuses can and will make stuff up as it goes along. Use Photoshop, pen and ink, collage, MSPaint, colored sand, quilting, whatever, but it’ll only be judged if it’s visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. Try to keep your maximum width to 450px. If you need a place to host your pictures, try www.imageshack.ws or www.photobucket.com. We have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use. And if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, post links to your source images.
