Most of the pitches that end up in my inbox are either for products completely unsuited to the Gadget Lab (“Dear Sir, We think your readers may enjoy our online collaboration suite”) or utter junk. I feel a pang of guilt before I write these up, but we British hacks are a cynical bunch and the twinge soon passes.
Today we have the TVLightbox Party Mojo DVD. Tagline: “Why leave your TV blank while having a party?”
A true throwback to the 1990s, the DVD turns your big-screen telly “into a virtual party”, with swirling, garish motion graphics featuring spinning soda cans, cassette tapes and CG smilies. Why on Earth you wouldn’t just switch on the iTunes visualizer is beyond us. At least that way you get visuals which pulse to the music instead of being “in tune with the beat of any type of music you play”. A video clip is included below. Grab some sunglasses.
Maybe I’m just too old and boring for all these whizz-bang party frolics. One of the company’s other products will turn your TV into a blazing log fire, something I find curiously attractive. Now, where are my pipe and slippers?
