My Little Soundbombs

  • In todays "enlightened" climate of fear of the unknown, I don't see things named anything-bombs going over too well with the authority figures.
  • the name and the packaging are going to be troublesome, methinks
  • Soundbombs give the possibility to tag a place in an accoustic form: a welcoming greeting at the entrance or a warning of a bad restaurant. These have the potential to be unbelievably irritating. I wonder what the vetting process is for applicants?
  • needs more cowbell
  • A stupid idea. I don't want to be bombarded with what someone else thinks is a nice sound when I'm out doing stuff. I want silence, PARTICULARLY in parks & restaurants, thanks very much. Goddam noise pollution bad enough as it is. Freakin' hipster techies.
  • It has potential.
  • Oooh, I know what these could be used for. ADVERTISING. And then, we can stick little helicopter blades on them, and they'll float and follow people around until they purchase what you tell them to! OH MY GOD! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE WE ARE CREATING!
  • Aaaah! Save me from the roving flock of product awareness sound-machines!
  • I don't see things named anything-bombs going over too well with the authority figures. Yeah, and can you imagine trying to get one shipped to you?
  • I have nothing to say in about this post other than, shoplifters of the world, unite and take over!
