“Right now, the Bang! lamp is just a concept for now,” coolest-gadgets.com reports redundantly. “However, it could easily evolve into other devices that you want to shoot to shut off. For example, a Bang! alarm clock that you have to bust a cap in when you wake up in the morning. What about the bang! HDTV that you can shoot every time you see something you don’t like, just like Elvis (supposedly). I would be shooting the TV every minute if I had one of those.” I can confirm the Elvis story; several members of the Memphis Mafia told researchers that The King sacrificed a TV to express his contempt for a televised Robert Goulet. (This ballistic display from an entertainer who once sang to a basett hound in a tux. Yes, both of them.) As for the bang!lamp’s safety implications, you’ll have to draw your own conclusions.
