A report from our Bad Product Watch:

– The “TV Terminator,” a remote shaped like a pistol that allows you to “shoot the TV” with accompanying sound effects, including gun shots and the strafing sound of a machine gun. “Now if a referee gives a bad call . . . or you just have a bad day at work, TV Terminator provides a safe release,” the company says.

– The “TooT TrappeR,” “the first chair cushion air filter for people with flatulence.” Made by a Houston firm, the deodorizing device acts “as a sort of reverse whoopee cushion.”
