I really shouldn't give you guys any information on what my entries are
going to be but, ahhh, WTF...
A: An implant. Seems lots of people these days have ear-rings, nose-rings,
belly-rings, etc. etc. Also, I see on the news every day that Americans are
getting fatter and fatter. Watching the "SuperSize Me" film they show huge,
huge Americans. So I propose to put flotation foam under the skin of
boaters. We're still working out the toxicity issues, but my hope is that
it will become a fashion statement. No longer will being a "large" person
be a sign of possible shame. Instead it will be the "in" thing. Even
non-boaters
may opt to have our procedure done, maybe to make it look like they can
afford a boat, or just for the fashion of it.
Side Note: We expect "Frontal Flotation" to be a big hit.
B: An inflatable necklace. The most important function of a PFD is to
keep your head above water. With a new material we are developing
you will be able to wear a just slightly larger than normal necklace. Upon
contact with water it automatically blows up to 12 times it's size. And
since the material floats...it keeps your head above water. (For marketing
we're working on licensing the rights to the old "Good Times" TV theme
song.
http://timstvshowcase.com/goodtime.html) So far there is just one
problem. As the necklace expands it puts pressure on the wind-pipe
and suffocates the victim. Oh, and one test subject got a nasty surprise
when she forgot to take it off before washing her face.
C: PDF Shoes. That's right, you heard it here first. But this is the one
we really believe will win the competition so, sorry, but I can't give you
any details.
Good Luck to All,
gary
