Isn't the theraphy buddy

Isn't the theraphy buddy interesting. The world is full of lonely people and its sad that they can't get support so they need to talk to a stuffed blue thing.

I think these constant two

I think these constant two hour shows are prrof that ABC has no other show that they can offer. Comn on already, it made alot of sense to do a reap before the Final 12, but are we going over this again.

I would MUCH rather see the others of the 50 or 25 that did not make it. To me, that is the more fascinating piece of all of this.

#2 Car Wrappers
I think he would have been better off have a large scale wrapper for a car.

The Most Outrageous Inventor - #1

Bladder Buddy

This guy has more air time than the people that made it in the top 12. Remember this all you people that want to audition next season.

bladder buddy

I love when he says he tried this in front of a bus stop and that the people knew he was doing out of the ordinary. They probably thought he was touching himself.

Can you imagine if you were there next to him. Hoenstly, he looks a littlw weird and in that get up, I would have been moving far away from him. Plus, you can totally hear it when someone is peeing. Eww,

The bladder buddy IS a good invention...

Think of the SuperDome in New Orleans during Katrina. Thousands of people were stranded with overflowing toilets for several days. They had to go somewhere. Why not in a personal sealed bladder instead of the hallways. The stench would have been contained and the Dome would have been more sanitary. He missed his market. This invention is for emergency situations. Not for walking down the street and feeling the urge.

Alienation Buddy

I think the "Therapy Buddy" missed its market--all the alienated people out there. Buddy's statement that "Everything is going to be all right" was its downfall. No, I take that back...the blue skin ruined his chances. No, that's not right, either. Buddy looked like the model used on "Alien Autopsy".

IF he would change "Therapy Buddy" to "Alienation Doll", I think it just might sell. A little rewording, such as "Hey, dude, everything sucks" might be more attractive.

Bike is not new. It's called the Bilenky Viewpoint

copy and paste... www.bilenky.com/viewpnt.html Wish the show allowed real "ORIGINAL" inventors to showcase. Mary Lou made a huge legal mistake. What do all of you think.

Different

I don't think the two bikes are identical. Francisco's front pedals power the front tire and the Viewpoint's power the rear. Also the front rider on the Viewpoint steers the bike, not so on the DTract.

What next?

Well what do you do once you've gone, walk around with a rolled up, piss filled, body bag all day? What are you supposed to do when you've relieved yourself, empty it in a public restroom?? Store it in your trunk? backpack? Why not just walk around with a catheter bag strapped to your leg under your clothes?

They should include some of the features from the old Gong Show.

I think this was a waste of

I think this was a waste of time. An annoying waste of time. It was pure schlock. Ten of the worst ideas we've already seen. I would've been more interested if Freemantle spent more time on what the hell happened during the "development" phase. It was insulting to my intellegence. I have zero respect for the producers of this show. They missed a wonderful opportunity to put all that money they have behind a more respectable show like they do at Home Makeover. They could've schooled the American public in the whole inventing process and instead, took the low road and focused on the more base instincts of entertainment. This is not up to any standards I want to be associated with. The show is a perfect example of throwing a ton of money at something and producing a ton of crap. It's television excrement. It's not nearly as funny as the Gong Show which in fact was done with probably one trillionth the budget. It's amazing how much money some people have just to throw away.

Urine Doll

Maybe the "Therapy Buddy" could be combined with the piss sack and made into a "Urine Doll". The doll could have a hole in the front to insert your penis and piss. Since the doll would cover your otherwise exposed penis, you can piss in public. The urine doll can be emptied later.

Urine doll - Love it!

Haven't laughed that hard in several days! The urine doll, too funny. Of course, it all depends on where the hole in the doll is located as to whether you could pee in it in public. Just because it may be covering up your genetalia doesn't necessarily mean having your crotch stuck to a doll is going to pass for public acceptance. Especially with the person relieving themselve letting out the bug "ahhhhhhh" sigh of relief while their crotch is firmly implanted to a blue doll. And of course, the doll stating back - "Everything is going to be all right". Ohh man, my sides are hurting. Somebody stop me.

Maybe they need to have an episode where someone takes these otherwise worthless inventions, combines two or three of them together to make something more useful. Now that would make this show worth watching! I can see the SNL or Mad TV parodies right now!

Future Shock

If these inventions are going forward and becoming the fashion trends and "cool new" accessories, this is what I envision:

Yuppy couples riding a dual-traction bike, with a trailer attached to haul a solar cooler, bathroom doorclip, and Sacmaster singing, "Here comes Naya" while wearing flatulence deoderizers. Since people will be pissing in public in a urine doll, public restrooms become obsolete and bathroom doorclips slowly decompose in overflowing landfills next to stinky hairwig hankies.

The dusty portable gyms are setting next to infants who are left home alone with bottle slings while parents are at work, and boys and girls are wearing the Catch to school but still have to go through metal detectors.

Dogs have window air conditioners and fart neutralizers, but people are stuck at home because they can't afford to buy gasoline. When husbands come home after a frustrating day at their minimum wage jobs, any wife who dares to prance around in a bow gets beaten black and blue and told to "get the f--- away from me, slut".

Law suits mount as everyone files a claim of patent infringement or product liability due to injuries and death from dangerous products.

Doug Hall sits with an ear-to-ear smile on his face and shoeless feet propped on his desk and says to his attorney, "This is GREAT!!" His attorney replies, "Even better than we planned. I don't know what Mary Lou and ABC are crying about."

More Invention Mismatch

I think the public IS ready for the Urine Doll. But perhaps the urine sack should be called the "Therapy Buddy" and used for sex offenders convicted of indecent exposure or playing with themselves in public. They could be required to wear the coats at all times when in public. The coats could be changed to orange and white stripes and have "Convicted Sex Offender" stamped on the back.

The bottle sling would sell if marketed toward teenagers and adults and sold with alcohol. Everyone could drink and drive but still have two hands on the steering wheel or one hand on the steering wheel and one hand for holding a cell phone.

The Naya doll could be transformed into the first fully functioning anatomically correct pubescent male doll who says, "Here COMES Naya" when it ejaculates.
