This has got to be one of the most ridiculous ideas someone has come up with yet, this is the perfect solution for teen age girls who like to read through fashion magazines while lying on their beds, or teen age boys who lie on the floor while playing video games.

The "Lazy Geek Cushion"(there name not mine), is another Japanese creation from Thanko.  Thanko is the company that has brought us such necessities as:  the usb microscope,  gold ingot usb port, usb warming slippers and gloves, usb alarm clock, usb tape dispenser (What?), usb pencil sharpener, and Vonia bone conducting music headband.  All items, I’m sure you have in your office.

Now Thanko has created this cushion people too lazy to hold themselves up on their elbows when they choose to play, work or read on their stomachs.  Amazingly enough, there is no way to plug it into a USB port. (Opps, better be careful or they will add it.) No, this is a stand-a-lone item that can be used without computer assistance.

This may be the perfect gift for the teen in your life.  You know the one that can skateboard for hours, play basketball all day, but can’t seem to actually “sit” on a piece of furniture. 

The cushion is adjustable so even your preteens can use it for their floor wallowing activities.  Actually for people with a bad back who have trouble lying on their stomachs, it may actually come in handy as well. 

Ok so this might be something the teenage and over fifty set might be able to use.  Just don’t tell either group that the other group might enjoy it.  It could spoil their enjoyment.

Now if someone could just explain to me why a tape dispenser would need a usb port?
