that a banana in your ear or are you just happy to see me?
San Francisco
prankster Laird Rickard has figured out a way to make obnoxious cell phone
use funny: he makes it look like you’re talking into a banana. Laird’s
company Nanaco produces Cellfoams™, squishy foam covers in wacky
shapes that protect your phone, and more importantly, make you look silly
when you’re talking on your phone instead of rude. Nanaco’s
premier product is the banana shaped cell phone cover, playing off that
classic gag of pretending a banana is a phone. It was hilarious when Groucho
Marx did it and the joke is still, ahem, appealing today. Attractively
priced at about $12 bucks at a variety of local retailers, this is a great
way to make light of a technology whose convenience barely compensates
for its invasiveness. If you were looking for a way to say "I'm just
bananas about talking on my cell phone!", this is it. Check out www.cellfoam.com
