My Lil Reminder: Worst Lil Invention

Published Tuesday, December 19, 2006 by seanlmccarthy | E-mail this post

The past few days, the TV keeps showing this horrible commercial for My Lil Reminder, and I feel like I need to say a few things about it.

"Where did I park my car? Oh! No!" I mean, really, now. If this lady cannot remember what kind of car she drives, and where she may have parked it, she has other issues that a digital voice recorder cannot quite solve. And the acting is atrocious.

I'm sure if you want an audio Post-It note, it might make some sort of sense, but when I see the high school student dictating her homework into the recorder, I have to wonder, why doesn't she just dictate the answers into Her Lil Reminder for quiz time?
