That being said, yeah, I wonder if commercials suffer the same manufacturing flaws as all of these cheap electronic gizmos: cut corners, hack planning / rehashing, so vanilla it's nauseating. I imagine that the commercials might all be identical except different products are photoshopped in and a new voice track is recorded.... Props to the people who actually find uses for these things!

Too bad it blew though, that is unfortunate. People such as your aunt are exactly who should use it, but the commercial is so ultimately silly, you’re not sure who it’s for.

The first time her lamp blew a light bulb the switch became inoperable. We purchased the handy switch for my wife’s aunt, who has some mobility problems.

It's so superficial now, like normal shops TRYING hard to be otaku. It's pathetic really and I can't wait for Akiba to morph itself again. As I've discussed with you before, I think there's no current younger otaku generation population to fills the shoes of the rapidly aging one and you know that they are not going to breed. So eventually that business will die out and something else will replace it. My prediction is that in the next 10 years or so there will some new virtual drug-sex-escapism type of entertainment-lifestyle shift. Kind of like Second-Life or the Matrix except more realistic, but virtual. And it will cause people to lose interest in real life cause the virtual one is more appealing. And all this will centre in Akiba which will turn into a kind of Cyber-Orgyfest-Ghetto. It's already leaning that way somewhat because Anime has shifted from being a main stream entertainment to become extremely niche. And there's a ton of hentai manga and bishojo dvds out there which are turning anime into a virtual sex life for many guys. It's just a matter of time for this to evolve into it's next shape. You can quote me on that when it becomes real. Just wait and see. Yeah, Akiba has been otakufied in the last 2 years or so and even worse turned into a tourist spot promoting otaku culture.
