Though they inexplicably chose a douchebag for the product shot, this is really meant for people with speech problems that result in low volume, not so much for the douchebag market.

1 meter = approx. 1.09 yards. 50 meters = 54.68 yards... ;)

Loud noises!

superbad: You mean low-talkers?

Not Seinfeldian low-talkers necessarily. More like people with spasmodic dysphonia or other vocal problems. Fortunately I don't need one of these currently, but I have considered it. There are still times it would help.

I didn't think this gadget would affect typing! But apparently it does! Hilarious! Thanks Adam! Where's the off switch! Where's the bold tag!

This product will be mainly used to amplify speech we would all prefer not to hear...

Now you can look real stupid and dress up as your favorite football reffere(not soccer). Make the call as it really should have happend with this device.

Looks like a device that the Westboro Baptist "Church" crowd will go for. As Kevin said - primary purpose will be to "amplify speech we would all prefer not to hear."

Shoot me now. No, wait. Shoot the douchebag.

These things are useful for tour guides. We saw one used overseas and it really helped hear him (outdoors).

... there should be a law against this kind thing, unless being used to assist someone with speech problems.

The principal of my elementary school could have used one of these. She was an ancient and fragile woman that had to carry a large wired microphone attached to a 10"-ish box with a speaker and amp in it, if she wanted to address the students out of doors.

I'm gonna grab me one to deal with the constant homeless harassment in my neck of the woods.

"NO! I DO NOT HAVE ANY CHANGE!"

Now you can look like an idiot, and sound like one too.

What's wrong with a bullhorn?

these things work pretty well. i went on the lexington ghost walk (yes, lexington kentucky) and the lead guy had one of these. i could always hear the guy with the large number of people in the crowd (about 100).

In America, the only punctuation we know is the exclamation point!

...and the hip mounting shows you EXACTLY where to apply the full force of the aluminum baseball bat, which will not only render the device inoperable, but break the hipbone as well. Bonus!
