Subject: RE: BS: Pointless features...
Not quite the answer to your question, but.....
Flicking through the chanels one night I chanced upon price-drop TV, where some chap is trying to sell you something you really dont need at a really inflated price, that drops the more people bid! Mad, but people actually do! I listened to him selling a watch.......
It has a strap ....DOH!
It has a face....with numerals...Whoppeee!
It has HANDS.... Begorrah!
It tells the time ....Now that is UNIQUE!
Its a timepiece....hmmmmm
You can wear it anywhere...what, not just on your wrist?
Its waterproof........is that splash proof or to what depth?
Its a watch.......As if I hadn't guessed....

Biggest load of crap on TV, but when me and the kids are bored, we put it on and laugh at some poor bloke trying to describe something overpriced that nobody really wants to buy. Its amazing what 'features you take for granted that they find themselves pointing out in a desperate attempt to make that sale!
