This TV Hat Must Be a Late April Fool's Joke
It's a hat. With a TV. Is this for real?
Can't get enough of TV? Online retailer Things You Never Knew Existed has the gadget for you, especially if you're always on the go, or want to look like some cheesy one-eyed alien from a crappy SyFy Channel movie.
The TV Hat should be self-explanatory in purpose, consisting of a baseball cap with an unusually long bill and an attached "dark room" built for iPods, iPhones, and most MP3 players. According to the site, the 2.5x magnification screen located inside "helps give you a movie theater experience."
Somehow that seems unlikely.
"Privacy side shields prevent others from seeing what you are viewing," reads the product description. "Use on planes, while camping, at the beach, even at home in bed."
With that said, you can now watch your favorite porn flicks while riding gunshot in the family sedan, sitting on the aisle seat on an airplane, or during a carpool to work. Who cares what you look like as long as you've got the goods in front of your eyes, right?
Sound like fun? The TV Hat can be yours for a mere $29.98 by heading here.

???? Really! I guess someone will buy it and make the inventor rich!
Haha, I remember seeing this before a while back. I wonder how the battery life is on that screen though...
Sold!
Makes you look like a donkey.
Isn't there a pair of glasses that act like a T.V.?
I mean if you're having these on, everyone will come and say "What are you watching? Let me see."
"while riding gunshot?"
The Mythbusters should pick one up and test it outto see if it's a hoax (I'm guessing plausible).
/fail product
That's all I gotta say.
So what does JC (James Cameron) have to say about this?
Its not a T.V. its just a magnifier for your ipod, itouch.. etc
Someone wearing this in public makes for an easy crotchkick and getaway
In bed eh?
^-^
i smell a new skymall product.
I wonder if it is legal to drive with that on?????
It is ugly though. If it was a sunglasses I would have been sold.
How do you mess up "riding shotgun"....?
I love the photo with the guy in the car
@MDillenbeck: JCameron would say the hat resolution is too small, how can you enjoy a 3d movie that way?
@shadow187: yes, what are you thinking?
@Marco925: he's in a bus or some sort of public transportation (huge window).
@soundefx: is it legal? can you see the road with that... MOVIE right in front of you? hope that was a sarcasm
@"riding gunshot": lol, just wow.
LOL. Thats even worse than 'Hat FM'
The Johnson Smith catalog specializes in cheezy crap. I have no doubt that this is real. Basically, it's just a magnifier for your PMP's screen.
Here comes watching porn in public.
You mean I have to buy one of these first?
Damn, someone should have told me that a long time ago. If you excuse me, I have to go destroy my PMP now because it's evidence linking I broke some law.
omfg, BANNNNN . That hat must never go to stores.
Is this from the movie video drone?
I'd love it if Apple came out with this first. Would really make the Apple fanbois look stupid.
That just looks funny.

Exactly, you slide your Ipod or whatever into the end of it, and it simply has a plastic magnifying screen hanging down in front of it. Cheezy, cheap, ripoff, are some of the words that come to mind......
I would never wear something like this. Heck, someone can jack you easy because you are in a "dark room".
LOL!!!!!! Now I can watch pornos and be completely discreet about it in public! Combine this and the Shake-Weight and make a youtube video about it... Hahahahaha!
Seriously? Why would anyone with half a brain cell buy that? Apparetnyl the guy who wrote the ad considering he can't even get riding shotgun right. Lol.
That's one of the most ridiculous things Ive ever seen...
Genius or stupid idea? I can not really tell the difference.
I love the photo with the guy in the car
He is indeed in the bus, holding a giant mug. I really wonder how he's gonna take a sip at it...
"while riding gunshot?"
haha i didn't even notice that! just read right past it as if it were 'riding shotgun'.
