- gbarberi, on 04/09/2008, -0/+15Aww... you have to use a predefined set of fragrances. This could have opened a whole new world of pranks over the internet. Imagine instead of leaving a rickroll, leaving a link to the most foulest smelling emission.
- SteelChicken, on 04/09/2008, -1/+161000 years into the future when people look back onto this time, they will all say "WTF was wrong with these people"
- therealkdog, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11YES all these years i have been farting into the phone now everyone will smell it instead of just hearing it!!!
- migitalwarfare, on 04/09/2008, -1/+10Man, I know I can't wait to pay 25 cents a piece for an incoming scent message! Totally useful technology!
- tapeworm77, on 04/09/2008, -0/+9I fart in your general direction.
- Efilnikufesin, on 04/09/2008, -0/+8Great, I can't even imagine the smell-o-vision version of Goatse. My nose will fall out just like my eyes.
- Enron, on 04/09/2008, -0/+7They tried this in 2001 with the iSmell. It had a cartridge with 128 scents that could be mixed.
- FirstDigg, on 04/09/2008, -0/+7So this is actually happening now. I just wonder how long until the price of the unit, which really isn't that much when you think about it, is subsidized by advertisers so this gets included in TV sets, and used during commercials.
- ttam, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5PantySniffers.com... holy *****, someone already beat me to it.
- madwaxer, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5well first if thay happens the living room is gonna smell crappy with all those foos and perfume commercials. then again considering most commercials are about medication we may get kids who grow up not being scared of hospitals.
"...ahhh smells like home!" - doctorfungi, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5This won't take off. It's not practical enough.
- mercano, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5First thought: a Futurama opening tagline, "Smell-o-vision Users Insert Nostril Tubes Now."
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5Marketing people just want to bombard the last of our unconquered senses with ads.
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -0/+4Good! I'm going to call every Congressman I can find and fart in the phone.
Smell my ass you Traitor *****! - BuckCynnie, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4Can't wait 'til they try to replace ring-tones with smell-o-rama: Dude, smells like you got a message.
First Guy: Good god, it smells like rotting cod in here!
Second Guy: Oh yeah, that's my girlfriend calling. - bajanboost, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4I cannot wait to fart on someone. Hold that fart!
- MMilitia, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3Smellovision is the worst idea ever. Why the ***** do people keep trying to invent it??
- gkwillie, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3And thus ends Harold Zoid's illustrious career.
- stretch611, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3Fry: Yes, but can it smell Uranus?
Prof Farnsworth: A group of scientists changed the name of Uranus in 2620 so that no one will say that joke.
Fry: Oh Really. What 's it called now?
Prof Farnsworth: Urectum. - TheSabre, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3Buried as inaccurate and misleading.
#1 - It's not "smell-o-vision". It's closer to "smell-o-phone".
#2 - It's not sending an actual fragrance, it's sending a recipe. - WilliamDavis, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Thank you for calling. I smell. How may I help you?
- WilliamDavis, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Where can you buy a TV that doesn't do that? I'll take two of them.
- stretch611, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2That's because I am calling you from the farm.
- uptown, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2We'll blow ourselves up long before then...
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2I personally woudn't want to buy a TV which minipulates me into buying things I dont want - we already sales people to do that.
- Smegzor, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Press 0 for fart, press 1 for vomit, press 2 for BO, press 3 for bleach.
- coolian, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Try 100 years.
- glinsvad, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2"It wasn't me, it was the computer"
- dlllb, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2I clicked + but I meant to digg you down.
- jabelar, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1That's why it's starting in Japan.
- sierracharlie, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1very interesting find http://EASYHEALTHYOU.INFO
- caitlinwoodward, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1I can see that being an issue. What if you are nauseated, and watching TV? People will be getting sick everywhere.
I guess it would have to be an special option. - TheSabre, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Umm, no it's not the same principle. It would be the same if your TV had a bunch of actors and actresses and stages in it and the broadcaster sent the command "Actor B: walk through door #1" and he did it on your TV. In this product, all the various ingredients and fragrances exist in the device itself and are not created until the very end. If this was sending a fragrance, it would create the fragrance at the beginning, encode it, transmit it, and then puff it out in a little cloud at the end.
TV is encode->transmit->decode, not concoct->transmit->manufacture like this. - inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1If you smell it then it cant be!
- Myztry, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Substitute a fragrance for something more devious and you have the perfect assassin's tool...
- czeman, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Imagine the prank phone call possibilities...
- Asianwaste, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1They tried this years back in the 90's when the Internet was just getting popular. It was basically a printer but it mixes scented oils rather than ink. Its focus was for online flower shops or culinary sites.
- nahsrocketeer75, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1I smell BS.
- deviationer, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1yep and that thing failed. I remember seeing stuff on TechTV about it.
- Dustmuffins, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1try 5...
- ATLien74, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1DAMMIT!!! My wittiness is eclipsed once again! :-)
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1EPIC FAIL......
- TKOtheKDR, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Good News, everyone . . .
- stretch611, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Goatse, that's old. Think of 2 girls 1 cup with smell-o-vision. (excuse me now while I shudder at the thought)
- stretch611, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1In other news: The series "Dirty Jobs" has been canceled. While it used to be very popular, since the advent of smell-o-vision, the only viewers left are fraternity houses during hazing rituals.
- donna1234, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1Nice one
http://www.e-uuu.com - stretch611, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Now when I talk to my brother on the phone, I can share with him the gift of a flatus.
- Dustmuffins, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1Confirmed.
- punker101, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I thought we were going to make a black hole and destroy ourselves? :)
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Now to begin the quest for the most repulsing smell possible.
