The Neediest Dolls In The World
captinsano writes "Forbes.com is taking a look at, 'The Needies,' the newest interactive stuffed toys, each one of which is fitted with an internal microprocessor and wireless antenna. They beg for attention (with varying levels of perversity) and when you finally pick one up the others complain loudly ("Throw him! Throw him!"). They're a cool example of the coming wave of wireless toys --and interestingly enough they are being designed for adults, not just children. There's a funny video showing the dolls in action, as well." These toys were originally designed after their NYU student creators and modeled after the horrible behavior they saw themselves exhibiting while trying to come up with a school project.
"I had to watch two 15-second commercials in order to see this video that was put up on the internet for free! WAAAAH!"
God, seriously, give it a rest. It's disgusting how much people nowdays think they are owed. Watching a quick commercial is a fair trade for being able to see the interview for free, and for the bandwidth it took to let me see that video for free.
If you want to level a serious complaint, do as a few on here have done - complain about the total lack of screen presence the host has, and how terribly awkward the interview came off.
