remote control operated by remote

Bahahaha :lol: :lol: :lol:

check out this story i found, imagine if it was real

TOKYO—Television watching became even more convenient this week with Sony's introduction of a new remote-controlled remote control.

The new device, which can be controlled via remote control through the use of a second remote control unit, will replace older models that needed to be held in the hand to be operable.

"Constantly leaning forward to pick up the remote control from the coffee table is a tiresome, cumbersome chore that will soon be a thing of the past," Sony director of product development Dan Ninomiya said. "These new remotes, should they be left on the coffee table or in some other barely-hard-to-reach place, will not need to be picked up and actually pointed at the screen in order to work."

I got the next best thing. Kids.

"Kids, get me the remote..."
"I'd love a beer..."
"Coffee ? Yes please..."

Works like a charm. Although, quite a bit more expensive than a universal remote :(

    Seems to be a function of how old they are also... They dont work when they are brand new, and if they are too old, you tend to get some negative feedback...
