The Philips Heartstart Home Defribulator
Weird... I just saw a commercial for a home defribulation unit. The say that only 5% of people survive a sudden cardiac arrest... which is why you should buy their product. It also said that the unit is available only by prescription. Now... who can point out the logical problem here?
Fine... I'll do it. It is "sudden" cardiac arrest... and there may not even be symptoms of heart trouble. So, kiddies, how does one obtain a prescription? Therein lies the problem... as only people who have some kind of heart trouble will be able to get one of these defribulation units.
And, the other thing I was thinking is that these defribulators will end up in frat houses and, inevitably, attached to some dude's wiener. I think it would be funny if defribulating the schlong causes some kind of cardiac arrest... and then they would actually need the defribulator. That's irony, folks. Also, can't you see some frat dude thinking it's a good idea to attach one of those things to his unmentionables? Frat guys are stupid.
