    The next big thing.

    when I read this UK article, I couldn't believe it.

    this new product appears to be real and ready for launch.

    step right up to get your brain zapped.

    That is horrifying. Although, I have to admit, there have been times I've fantasized about such a thing for a very rambunctious, insomniac 2yo I gave birth to.... (I swear I would never!)

    Humanity 2.0 ®

    • Comes with all of the bugs of version 1.0, but introduces a number of new ones, and some interesting security hazards too.
    • Highly recommended for Borg wannabes and corporate drones.
    • Version 2.1 will offer custom personality types, such as Psychopathic Corporate Executive™, Charismatic Political Orator™, Religious Zealot™ and Ultra-Nationalist Patriot™.

    Something new for useless eaters to fund corporate profits. Just brilliant!

    can you imagine the fine print:

    mess around with one's brain at the user's risk.

    OMG Aragon, version 2.1 sounds divine. (snicker, snicker) When will version 3.1 be released? Can I get a 3-D printer and make bejeweled covers for it to match your outfit or add a mood ring component so people can observe your mood. Of course you should have the rights to make the Psychopathic Corporate Executive™ model with real jewels for the 1% crowd.

    As soon as it is found that version 3.0 has more bugs than features.

    3D printers are passé. We are now moving towards 5D printers. Mood colorization will be added in version 2.3, with a blinking effect for mood swings.

    Unfortunately, that patent was already granted to a recently formed for-profit corporation founded by Christine Lagarde and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    Yes, that part about zapping you to sleep....about 12:30am last night I might have actually considered it. Someone told me a new dad wrote a bedtime book called...."Go the F*** to Sleep!" I never laughed so hard. I could completely relate.
