Do the editors of slashdot not actually go outside

Ever been to a hockey game? how about a monster truck rally? Do you know what football is? I've seen these for years and also in use! ohhh.

Nothing new

Really it's nothing ne. Kansas State Unv uses one at basketball games to launch shirts and other K-State stuff into the stands. It's a big hit. I was in their pep band as a tuba player. One time we managed to get the mascots attention. I waved my sousaphone side to side to make him notice me. He aimed at me a with a small jump on my part hit the bullseye. The rolled up shirt hit the bell dead center and slipped into my horn. It was hilarious. Back on topic. These things aren't exactly new. What will we hear about next? Rubberband guns?

Erm -- I was about to point out the same thing.

At the United Center in Chicago, they fire tee shirts up from the court area during Bulls and Blackhawk games, and we've gotten them flying into our top tier -skybox-. This is not new technology!

Launchers are at all pro/college sporting events

At UT... they even have launchers that look like big coke bottle shotguns. This is nothing new... boo on Slashdot!

In a bid for ratings....
