This seems cool, but the promotional video itself seems to reinforce how little re-world usefulness it provides.

Principal: Tell your mother what your shirt said...

I'll take utterly useless for $200, Alex...
I was pondering possible uses beyond the utterly useless but sure to be trendy for 5 minutes t-shirts and the only thing remotely interesting that I could come up with is putting it in to drapes to simulate light coming in through a window at night or where a window doesn't actually exist. :rolleyes:Quote:

I should be in good company, then.
BTW, I think Nick H sold your car. :D
