New Waste of Money Discovered - Dogs Involved
November 10th, 2008
Providence took another blow today with the release of the SNIF tag - an unfathomably pointless $300 collar-mounted doohickey which allows dog owners with absolutely nothing else to do the opportunity to go online and blow 5 disinterested minutes checking such things as their pooch’s daily activity level and the names of the owners of other dogs who walked nearby while happening to sport the same doohickey.
The aimless gizmo was apparently released after its makers noticed a gap in the market for social networking dog collars which offer slight amusement for around three buyer’s-remorse-free days before being returned and exchanged for an iPod.
I’ve got a better idea. How about these electronic egg-heads turn their attention to cats instead? I’d like to see something which attaches to cat collars and tracks their movements around the neighborhood. The aggregate results could be plotted onto a Google map for the perusal of dogs who can then assess whether any one particular cat is getting too cocky vis-a-vis his or her territorial locus.
Steps could then be taken to rectify the situation.
