Don't sell your kidneys for karma
Is that what the guy on American Inventor
said last night, that he put so much
passion and energy into his invention (a portable coffee cup/grinder thing) that he sold his kidney? Or donated his
kidney? And that he had to do it because it was "karma?" I'm not quite sure exactly how/why he did it (except
that he wanted to be a hero to his son), but I think this is something none of us should do. Don't sell your kidneys for
karma. Also: don't sell your feet for food, don't sell your hands for a house, and don't sell your penis for a Porsche.
This was just one of the many delusional inspired inventors trying to convince the judges that their
invention was the one to change the world. How about the guy who had the cup holders that wrapped around the coffee pot.
He wouldn't let Doug talk at all (note: this isn't a bad thing. I swear if an inventor came on the show and said he had
invented a personal rocket ship to bring you to the moon, Doug would say, "Look, I've been to the moon, OK? This
just isn't going to work."). Or how about the guy who made sleeves for remote controls? And the lady with the
bears that build character. Isn't that just Build-A-Bear, but with surgery?
Eh. I don't know. I'm still waiting
for the lawsuits from people who have patented an invention. You know they're coming.
(Side note: who is the
host of this show? He's like the poor man's Ryan Seacrest. He has that Seacrest-y/reality show host look about
him, but they never really show him "hosting." It's mostly just shots of him smiling or hugging/consoling the
inventors.)
