The Total Digi-Vyoo Headset (TDVH)

Most of us have great difficulty looking directly at things.  After all, we have become so comfortable looking down at our little electronic devices that we now prefer seeing things that way.  Whenever there's a niche there is usually a company that will come along to fill that niche.  And that is, once again, the case.  The Friendly Oversight Solution Creation Corporation has developed a new device that is an instant worldwide sensation.  This innovative Japanese Company now makes and sells a device called the Total Digi-Vyoo Headset.  It is revolutionary.

The Headset consists of three parts.  First is the total blackout head fabric that you drape over your head.  It does allow breathing but limits user vision to the LED screen through the Special Eye Area.  Second is the high definition lens that sits on top.  And third is the LED screen that sits just below the face (attached to a brace that fits comfortably around the neck).  Here's how it works.  You put on the Total Digi-Vyoo Headset and turn it on.  Voila!  Now instead of looking directly at everything all you have to do is look down and you will see it all on your own personal screen.

Note that this device is NOT a digital recorder.  The TDVH is for VIEWING PURPOSES ONLY.

"Ah," some may say.  "But what about peripheral vision?"  That's where things get interesting.  For a few dollars more you can get the Extreme Total Digi-Vyoo Headset which allows the user to control the lens on top of their head with a joystick, making it move up or down or completely around in a 360 degree circle.  So no more of those annoying neck movements that require so much effort and energy.  People are loving this device because it helps them stay confined to their safe little world where nothing around them is really happening.  And hey, all you Parents out there...listen up!  The device can also be fitted with a transmitter that allows you to monitor your child's activities twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

What are people saying about the Total Digi-Vyoo Headset?  Here are some testimonials:

"It was so frustrating having to look directly at my co-workers, all of whom I despise.  Now with the Total Digi-Vyoo Headset it feels like they don't even exist!"
-- Ms. Alice Robert Mystery, Phoenix, AZ

"I love staring at my handheld phone.  Now I can stare at this thing all the time and it feels just like staring at my handheld phone!"
-- Father Ralph Inserts, Savannah, GA

"I feel like I'm invisible and everything around me isn't real.  Now that I have this new thing I feel even more invisible and everything around me seems even less real than it did before!  My children hate theirs because of the monitoring function but who cares?  Kids are pretty much worthless nothings anyway!"
-- Little Bossy Flipper, San Francisco, CA

Possibly the best and most useful feature of the Total Digi-Vyoo Headset is the ON/OFF switch.  Frustrated and tired of dealing with other people and the world around you?  Just hit OFF and you'll have all the peace and tranquility you've always dreamed of.

TWO (2) VERY IMPORTANT NOTES

(1)  The Total Digi-Vyoo Headset CANNOT be paired with your phone.  So if you need to look at something on your handheld phone while you are wearing the headset you will need to hold your phone above your head facing the lens in order to look at the LED screen.  Note that you will not be able to view your phone LED screen through the Special Eye Area.

(2)  Once you put it on, the Total Digi-Vyoo Headset CANNOT be removed.  Some acute readers may be asking, "But golly and gosh, how will I EAT?"  No worries there.  The Friendly Oversight Solution Creation Corporation has already taken this into account.  They included a super handy Snap Flap on the front which allows users to unsnap the flap whenever consumption is necessary.

Say Goodbye To Caskets and Cremation.

Isn't it frustrating spending so much time and money discarding the bodies of those who have passed away?  For hundreds of years people have spent way too much to have bodies buried and/or cremated.  And then on top of that you have the added cost of funerals and grave sites.  When you think about it, at just about every turn you are charged more money for something else.  And the end result is never truly satisfying because, no matter what you do, the deceased individual is gone and they will never ever return.  Wouldn't it be great if there was an easy cost effective alternative?  Wouldn't it be great if letting go of the deceased was just as easy as picking up a bucket of chicken at your favorite drive-thru?

Well Dear Readers, there is finally a sensible cost-effective solution that solves all of our problems.  The solution is a new product called Diposa-U.  What is Disposa-U, you ask?  It is really a very simple product.  Disposa-U is a large vacuum sealable bag that contains a special clear liquid.  When a wife, mother, husband, grandfather, child or whoever dies, all you do is put them in the bag and seal it shut with the special heated vacuum sealer.  Once sealed, the special clear liquid inside seeps into the body and causes it to dry up and shrink until it is about 9 inches long.  After the process is complete, all you do is dispose of it in any trash receptacle.  No mess.  No fuss.  No disgusting smells.  No unsightly decomposition stains on your expensive furniture and carpet.  And no costly services that everyone despises anyway.  No grave sites that require constant maintenance over the next few decades.  At the amazingly low price of only $75, these things are already flying off the shelves.  Not surprising, because this product absolutely fills the bill in all ways possible.

Here are answers to some Frequently Asked Questions:

Get Everything You Want and Need in the Comfort Of Your Home.

It's difficult being a good consumer.  It's also expensive.  How is a person supposed to afford all the things they need and then obtain them at the exact time they are needed?  It's a never ending headache for all of us and the headache never seems to go away.  For many decades manufacturing and distribution have been substantial hurdles for the average consumer.  Sometimes an individual wants something that is no longer manufactured.  At other times an item is desired that is no longer in stock.  Distribution often costs more than it costs to manufacture the item in the first place.  Since the beginning of time manufacturing and distribution have been super frustrating for everyone at some time or another.  If there was only some way that the average person could create the things they want and need at prices they could afford.

Do the following questions cause familiar ringing sounds to erupt in your mind?

* What if I could get everything I wanted when I want it?

* What if I didn't have to depend on websites and stores to provide me with the things I want?

* What if shopping was easy instead of difficult and confusing?

* What would it be like if I didn't have to depend on anyone for anything?

* What if I could make everything I want appear out of nowhere?

* What if everything was instantly affordable?

* What if the entire world gave me everything I am owed all the time?

* What if I was rewarded for being good?

* What if everyone knew I had the latest greatest thing on earth before anyone else could get one?

Well Dear Readers, there is no need to wish anymore because your dreams are now a reality.  A new machine is available called the Demanding Personal On-Demand Machine (DPODM).  Available to consumers this year for the first time ever, this machine does what was previously considered impossible.  This life-changing device creates anything and everything you want right in the privacy of your very own home.  It it self-sustaining.  Once you buy it, you never need to buy any additional supplies ever.  You may be asking, "So what kind of things will this machine create for me and how much will they cost?"

Well, yes...there IS a small cost to create each item.  But compared to what you are used to paying the prices are minuscule.  Here is a list of some items that people are already creating for themselves and the actual final cost associated with each one.

As noted when you read the last item on the list, you can even use the Demanding Personal On-Demand Machine (DPODM) to manufacture itself for you.  But,understandably, the cost is higher because the company doesn't want customers undercutting their original price.  So you may now very well be asking yourself the following questions:

1.  I have got to get hold of one of these damn new machines, don't I?

2.  This sounds too good to be true but it is true, isn't it?  Isn't it...?

3.  I don't care how much it costs because I have to have one, don't I?

4.  I will save so much money on everything that the only choice I have is to get a DPODM right now, isn't that right?

5.  Why do I always feel depressed when I look in a mirror?

6.  How can it make all this stuff without needing any additional supplies ever?

7.  Who am I talking to anyway?  And why can't I see you?

8.  How much is this damn thing and where do I get one?

There is a simple answer to question Number Six (#6, above).  The DPODM uses a Stationary Molecule Adjustment Perpetuater (SMAP) that allows the machine to produce the supplies it needs from the air that we breathe.  Imagine that.  All this time you've spent wanting so many things and in reality you have been breathing them the whole time.  In response to Question One (#1, above), yes you do want one of these things.  In response to Question Two (#2, above), it does seem too good to be true but it is true so stop trying to tell yourself it is too good to be true because it really is true.  In response to Questions Three and Four (#3 and #4, above), it is imperative that you have one of these things regardless of the cost.  The answer to Question Five (#5, above) is that your appearance has never been and will never be what it should be no matter what you do.  Your appearance is what you are and that is why your own image makes you feel depressed.  You should not be asking questions like Question Seven (#7, above) because you do not have access to higher level information at the present time.  This leads us to Question Eight (#8, above) and this is what everyone wants to know.

The Demanding Personal On-Demand Machine (DPODM) sells for $274,999.00 and it is now available at your local store.  The price may seem high until you consider how much money and time you will save once you get one.  When making up your mind, consider the following:

* Do you want to continue buying things the OLD way . . . or would you rather start getting them the NEW AND BETTER way?

* Are you real stupid?  Or are you real intelligent?

* Do you like being dull and uninteresting?  Or would you rather be super smart and innovative?

* Do you want to continue throwing money away?  Or do you want to start saving tons upon tons of bucks every single day for the rest of your life?

* Are you going to do what you are told like a good overgrown baby?  Or are you going to continue doing the same old dumb repetitive things over and over and over again forever like a dodo bird?

The decision is up to you because it has always been your decision anyway.  Things are different now and you no longer feel as if you are controlled by outside forces.  The future is bright and it has always been bright and right.  All you have to do from this point forward is say a few words and reap the rewards.  After all, you deserve rewards because you are a very special individual.

Congratulations on making the right choice.  The right choice is always there for people who are really and truly good.

 June 2025 Entertainment, Music and Miscellaneous News

* Redd Kross hits the target...AGAIN.  The guys in Redd Kross manage to hit the target once again with one of their best albums ever.  It's a self-titled double album kinda thing and it features one of the best pop songs we've heard in ages -- "I'll Take Your Word For It."  All the other tracks are great too, but this one really stands out as an exceptional mindblower.  * Bryan Jones is getting back together this year.  *  A True Icon.  Janis Ian is, without a doubt, one of the best folk/pop singer/songwriters ever.  Her music has stood the test of time exceptionally well and she has never ever sold out.  Ian has managed to have a long and rewarding career without the usual pitfalls that plague so many other artists.  Hats off to Ms. Ian for being a genuinely real voice in our world, enriching our lives with well-crafted melodies and thought provoking viewpoints.  *  Movieland has just released a new album entitled Now & Then. The band is based in Vancouver and has been compared to various bands including Jesus and Mary Chain, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and The Sound.  *  Super cool dream-like motion picture.  We don't often recommend motion pictures.  And we only do when something is truly great or different and captures our imagination.  If you haven't yet seen it, we highly recommend the movie Mother, Couch.  This is a very different sort of viewing experience with a story very much unlike anything we've experienced before.  The cast is great and the dialogue is intelligent.  This one is very much like a dream and it has some real surprises thrown into the mix.  We love it.  Wish more people were willing to go out on a limb like this and do something genuinely different and interesting.  *  Flower To The Pupil.  Flowers are now available to replace pupils.  Each is available on a first-come-first-served basis.  Product is moving fast.  *  Kenny Rogers is getting back together this year.  *  More cool stuff from the Transcendental Revolution label.  The band Bodaggit has just released a new album entitled Chemical Solution For A Spiritual Problem.  The album features eight new cuts from this Lexington, Kentucky-based punk/power pop band.  Cool rockin' tracks include "Skeleton Life," "Boy Dinner" and "Mean Creek."  *  Brand new vinyl from West Virginia.  Keyser, West-Virginia-based trio RSL has just released a vinyl album appropriately titled Welcome to Keyser.  RSL is comprised of singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Anthony W. Rogers, lyricist/guitarist Jay Stickley and drummer Barry Lay.  The album presents songs exploring the band's experiences growing up in "a sheltered Appalacian - but in many ways a progressively minded community."  Music created for all the right reasons.  *  Beautiful limited edition 7" vinyl.  Asbury Park, New Jersey's Out Like Lambs have just released a cool new 7" vinyl release featuring four tracks: "Devil Moon," "Baby Cowboy," "Red Bag" and "Salt & Spit."  The band is comprised of Rachel Hock (vocals), Michael Lucio Sternbach (Guitars), Michael Hesslein (piano, synths, effects, etc. on tracks 1 & 4), Josh Pivnick (bass on tracks 1 & 4) and Neil O'Brien (drums on track 3).  Beautiful cover art on this one, includes a cool lyric insert.  *  Comet Gain continues gaining ground.  Longtime babysue favorite Comet Gain has a brand new album out entitled Letters To Ordinary Outsiders courtesy of the fine folks at Germany's Tapete Records.  This band always hits the target.  The new release features well-crafted cuts like "The Ballad of the Lives We Led," Beat of the Veins" and "Maybe One Day It'll Really Happen."  *  Happy Growl Records has just released the seventh album from Peggy James entitled Till I Turn Blue.  Produced, engineered and mixed by Jim Eannelli and mastered by Gary Tanin at Daystorm Music, the album presents twelve songs that combine elements from Americana, country and pop.  Smooth melodic tracks include "Compensation," "So Over You," "Stuck On The Track" and "You're Still the Highlight." *  Hot new cool jazz release.  The Urlicht AudioVisual label has just released a new album by Sophie Duner and Steve Beck featuring Karlheinz Stockhausen's Tierkreis and Francis Schwartz's The Neon Pterodactyl.  Stunning recordings that are anything but conventional.  *  More and more Public Eyesore.  We can never get enough of the cool releases on Public Eyesore.  This San Pablo, California-based label continues unearthing and releasing music by some of the most unusual and genuinely original artists on the planet.  And the two latest Eyesore releases are proof of this fact.  First up is Sunrise Crazy by Philip Gayle.  Housed in a cool digipak sleeve, this nineteen (!) track album features Gayle playing banjo, bass, cello, acoustic guitars, mandolin, mouth harp, percussion, piano, recorder, Taishogoto, toy piano and voice.  And the recordings also feature the talents of special guests Fuuchan, Hana Fujino, Okaka, Omusubisan and Shogo Oshima.  This is the Gayle's 12th album, recorded and mixed in Utsunomiya, Japan.  Also out on Public Eyesore is a band new album from viddekazz2 entitled Sounds of Silence.  viddekazz2 is the Tokyo-based punk/noise duo comprised of Hidekazu Miyano (guitar, vocal) and Kick-C (drums).  Fourteen intense crushers including "Communication Breakdown," "Maybe Tomorrow," "Child In Time" and "From Here To Eternity."  *
