After first seeing the Card Access Time-Scout system for locking down electronic devices from kids, I started to write, “Hey, here’s an idea, parents: Why don’t you grow a pair?” A pair of boobs or testicles, brass perhaps, as it pleased them; I was not picky. But then I realized that one could credit an almost infinite-amount of play time on the $90 swipe-card based timer, giving children the impression of receiving some sort of parental concern, but still allowing them to nurse on the entertainment pap in another room, leaving parents blissfully undistracted.
My next idea? Sleeping pills, coated in caffeine, coated in a delicious Cheddar cheese.
