    Is Paris Hilton really the best spokesperson for this product?

      Well, there's a reason why the company is called Danger - they like to take chances.

    Of course, the typos were a test of the amazing science of word recognition. ;)

    Not that I really expect any of you to go along, but I know I won't be buying one of these things.

    Why?

    Because that 'celebrity party' he talks about in the article took place at the Grove in Los Angeles, right next to my apartment building. This 'party' consisted of earth-shaking 'music' that kept my one- and two-year old children up till after 1:00 in the morning on a week night, listening to an amplified rapper yelling Mother-F**er again and again. This was audible a full city block away, with all of the windows closed up tight. I'm telling you, my building was shaking. I'm just lucky the kids didn't learn that word - it was repeated hundreds of times.

    The police were called multiple times, by me and other neighbors, and eventually shut them down.

    These kinds of irresponsible corporate citizens don't deserve our support.

    OK, I'm done with my rant.
