The Return of the Boombox

[Yesfan70]

.....or ghetto blaster. Whatever you called it back in the 80s, looks like it could be making a come back. I saw a commercial for these Flips Audio headphones earlier today. You can rotate the phones 180 degrees to have "stereo loudspeakers".

First thing I thought of was this:

Maybe they won't catch on. :handgestures-fingerscrossed: , but I can see a lot of young dumbass people out there with their headphones inverted, cranked to 11, texting on their phones and not giving a shit if they are bothering the rest of the people around them. Remember that scene from Star Trek IV? Yeah, that.

I hope this doesn't catch on. It's annoying enough to hear people walking around "blasting" music from their cell phones like they need a damn soundtrack for their life.
