From Cracker Barrel Philosopher, yet another instance of kids being too clever by half.
Not to worry, teachers--just wait until some resourceful lawyers on this side of the pond get ahold of it and start a class action against the maker for damaging everyone's hearing in ADDITION to giving everyone great big brain tumors, and they'll disappear pretty quickly. (Alas, the phones, not the lawyers.)
Alternatively, one could always start a rumor that this technology is how Karl Rove controls all of his evil minions.
Which we know is bogus--he just passes notes to us, cleverly disguised as paper footballs.

Posted by: skillzy at May 25, 2006 02:45 PMWell, there's frequency and volume--if you turn the frequency up high enough and the volume down low enough, I bet you could come up with something neither adults NOR kids could hear! That would be, like, WAY cool!
Of course, dogs might think differently about it.

I just turn the infernal thing off.
