You definitely should not be barbecuing while wearing the TV Hat. It is also not wise to excercise with this thing on. You could really hurt yourself bad on a treadmill or on the bench press. Ummm…..playing video games too….not a good idea either, especially if it means jerking your head and neck around.

The brim is egregiously long, which poses a few problems. One, you could bump into a lotta stuff and two, with the device on the end it might weigh that side down. That might get annoying. Another item of discussion is if you go to their website….you will see that they are also offering a FREE neck support device that come with the hat. This kind of gives me the impression that this TV Hat might actually be bad for your neck.

The part that gets me the most….is going to have to be the beach scene. Why would you go to the beach if you want to drape a cloth over your head and watch tv? What about the waves and the all the cool beach stuff going on? Plus it will for sure mess up your base tan.

On a positive note, the TV Hat is available in either hat or visor. Way cool.

Baseball season has begun for all you sports nuts. I was rummaging through my mom’s basement and came across the 1988 Topps Baseball Card Collection book. Check out these winners. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Pay special attention to their hair and their names. This is what baseball used to really be about. – Dr. Goldstein

THE DR.’s CORNER

Attention spans are fleeting in today’s hyperactive world. XBOX 360 Video
games, 3-D Movies, iPhones, non-stop texting, and cyberspace. There is a
perpetual and omni-directional bombardment of information. As a result we
are in sensory overload. The average attention span is getting narrower and
narrower. The bombardment is only increasing and people’s attentions spans
are decreasing. Maybe you already stopped reading? When will the attention
span reach zero? Technology is taking over and doing everything for us. There’s
an app for that. There’s an app for everything. Soon there will be an app
for blowing your nose. It can either go TWO ways:

1) Our ability to focus goes completely to nil and our mind goes to mush. We
then stop learning and we all become mindless drones. Then the terminator
T-1000′s come in, start eating our food, and push us out of the way.

Or

2) At some point we go Lawnmower Man on the whole situation (you’ll have to
look up Lawnmower man). We then turn against our iPhones. Go retro, and go
back to doing stuff like hopping around on pogo-sticks, drawing on actual
paper, and actually talking to people again without checking our phones every 5
seconds. Wow that sounds insane.

We’ll just have to see how it all plays out.

Sincerely,
Dr. Goldstein

P.s. If no one leaves a comment in response, then I will start texting John
Connor immediately.

Thanks to everyone who came out…..huge turnout
