Most Ridiculous Invention Ever

This has to be the most hair brained product idea I’ve ever seen. The Multimedia Remote Control Wrangler looks a bit like underwear but it is worn on your head and you attach your TV remote and other remotes to it using Velcro. Yes, you did read that correctly, your HEAD! Just take a look at the photo:
Currently, only two styles are available for this unorthodox headgear but others are sure to follow. For the sports enthusiast, there is the red white and blue “Retro Sportsman” model, which has proven to be very popular in the Asian market. The demure “Antique Olive ” caters to the conservative crowd who may prefer a more discreet and formal appearance. [American Inventor Spot]
I think the only thing this will be useful for is in a Saturday Night Live skit or a MAD magazine parody. Have you ever seen a product this loony? Would you buy one? Better yet, if you received one for free or as a gift would you actually use it, besides as a joke?

what can you say? It’s awesome, and no, I wouldn’t wear one in a pink fit. I dont even own that many remote controls.
You would only wear it indoors wouldn’t you? No point in taking the remotes outside.
The major problem I see is forgetting it’s there and going in the shower or to bed without remembering to remove it. You could, in case a, electrocute yourself, or just wreck the remotes, and in the second case you could put your neck out.
I can see them catching on because they look like the Davy Crockett hats we bought as kids and we all know how silly they look now.

Tim, how could you electrocute yourself with remotes? They’re only battery powered, the worse you’d get is a shock, and I highly doubt that possibility. Surely you were kidding.
Anyways! I agree that this is a very lame and ridiculous invention.

Believe it or not my son uses something similar too this. He takes a head sweatband and puts it on his head. Then he hooks his cordless phone too it and talks on the phone for most of the night. He looks ridiculous. I call it his Hispanic hands free device!!!

Might be useful for putting some kinds of sensors around your head - like radar detectors or super hearing aids or motion detectors. For highly hazardous locations.
Naw, the Gov would want to spend $55K on each copy so please do not pass this on!

I have Sleep Apnea so I use a CPAP machine to sleep with. I have been having trouble with keeping my mouth closed durring the night. If this works as a good chin strap I would use it for that. But to hang remotes on it would be counter productive. Once settled in the recliner the remotes are there on the arm of it and if you get up for a bathroom break they are right there when you return. If you are going to be up moving around why use a remote anyway?
