WTF? (Score 1)

Really folks, electronic pets? I have to admin that even if a friend of mine told me they bought one of these things, I would have to tell them to get a life. This may be interesting from a technology standpoint, (IMHO the technology isn't _that_ great anyway), but I can't believe these huge companies are pouring research dollars into this "pet" thing. Maybe I'm just clueless, because I never could understand those wrist things that you had to change and feed, etc.
