Sony Wants To Patent Laughter

Which is funny (not really laugh out loud funny because that would cost too much) beucase I’ve been trying to patent apathy for years. I’d be rich.

I like the example shown on the TV.

Be ready for swine flu style.

We are all aware of the possible and growing pandemia of swine flu that might happen this automn. But fortunately some great inventors out there have provided cool and cutting edge technology to help us in this terrible outbreak.
First I wanted to present you this awesome anti-flu suit. In a total Inspector’s Derrick fashioned hype trend this suit will give you the appearance of the “I don’t care about this stupid flu” person while ensuring the most active protection against “inter-human contaminations”. No you don’t have to be naked under this apparel to make it work but you still can if you want to diversify your hobbies.
If you feel like having mouth to mouth contact is no longer acceptable, you might want to try this beautifull and unnoticeable “kissing shield”. This device “prevent exchange of micro-organisms between two persons engaged in the act of French Kissing”! Yes you’re not dreaming, you though that french kissing was dead with swine flu but no! As you can see in the drawing, kissing with this apparatus seems very pleasant and poking your tongue is also very easy!

Summer is not ended yet but I’m sure automn will be fun!
