I honestly believed that human sadism reached its peak with the invention of the alarm clock. It appears that I was wrong.
Clocky is not only an alarm clock. After you hit the snooze button, this little bastard escapes from you. “Clocky is programmed to find new resting spots everyday, creating a hide- and-seek game with the offending over-sleeper.”
Cute.
When I awake with a fuzzy tongue and headache, the first thing I want to do is engage in a game of hide and seek with a shrieking machine. Hopefully this will all take place in the dark so I can wound myself. Nothing wakes me up quite like the pain of a stubbed toe or broken leg.
And to think, before we’ve even met, this machine has the unmitigated gall to call me “offending.” God forbid I should break the law of Clocky. It’s bad enough that smoking in bars and drinking in Church is banned. Now I’m an offender if I merely over-sleep? I wonder what I am if I shoot a clock? A hero, perhaps.
