Sure, it’s a cliche, but I’m one of those guys who can never find the television remote. It seems to drop through a dimensional slip gate every time I put it down, only to reappear at the random end of some wormhole elsewhere in the apartment. Maybe that’ll be between the couch cushions, but it’s often as not found inside a box of cold pizza in the kitchen, or on top of the toilet tank, or underneath the bed.
Absolutely maddening. I’ve been hoping for awhile someone would do something about my errant remote, and it looks like now, Brookstone has, having come up with a remote control that is actually embedded right into a sofa throw pillow.
It’s a universal remote, so it does about everything you expect. It’s also perfect for napping, which is more than I can say for my remote.
This, of course, adds an entirely new wrinkle to the idea of fighting with a significant other over the remote: now it can be a pillow fight. My only question, of course, is what happens when you actually, you know, use the pillow as a cushion instead of as a channel clicker.
For $30, though, there doesn’t seem to be much risk in just buying one and finding out for yourself.
