Being a product of a childhood filled with too much TV, I love commercials for the most part.

I have recently been fascinated with the commercial for the flashlight that never needs batteries, the Faraday Light.

You know the one, the flashligh that runs on Faraday's Principle:

The principle that if anyone is stupid and gullible enough to stand around shaking a flashlight to hopefully make it work, that some benevelont god somewhere in the cosmos will grant the poor knuckle-dragging loser the power of Light.

Well since I have seen this crack-fest of a commercial, the gear-head/nerd in me has been dying to get some, but I hate to order from the TV ads.

So the pharmacy I work for just got them in and I am in heaven...

Does anyone else have them? Are they cool???? Lemme know!

Hahaha yes I actually got one.

It actually does work, its not a scam. Theres a thick ring of copper coil in the middle, and as you shake it a piece of solid lead, or some metal, passes through it, and it builds up a charge. Works for a good five or six minutes too after thirty seconds of shaking.

I think its awesome. I love it.
