Joke-e-oke Makes You a Comedian

Uber-Review writes "If you ever aspired to be the next Jerry Seinfeld instead of the next American Idol. Maybe the product featured by Wired is just right for you. Joke-e-oke, basically a karaoke with stand-up comedy material. Joke-e-oke is a laptop rigged to a video projector allows you to choose from a list of stand-up comedy icons to perform. A built in laugh track is added, timed perfectly to accent punch lines. Obstacles are programmed in so participants onstage get a taste of what real comedians go through by firing off heckle lines for the bar crowd to yell in unison at the Joke-e-oke participant."

    "We live in a reality-television age where normal people see themselves as the star. Joke-e-oke shows that everyone can be a star,"

    Sure, for 5 minutes. Then the reality of empty, meaningless lives hits the people when they remember they aren't famous or "stars". Aspire to be yourself, not a TV character. (see the related JE I wrote on March 15 linked in my sig)
