Don't know what this is. Just saw a commercial on NBC.

Going to the site, there are a bunch of different videos, which seem to be the commercials they're showing on TV.

"It" is supposed to be announced on Oct. 20th. There's a countdown on the site.

 		as did I see it... very strange... you'd think it's something about technology (eg, 'over 1700 lines of resolution'), and yet - 'it completely changed the way I look at my kitchen', and 'it makes me forget all about the litterbox', 'it made the smell go away. forever.', 'it hasn't let me down yet, and it's dishwasher safe'... I'm confused.

I have a feeling it's not necessarily an object per se.. yet at the same time it is...

what IS it??? *sigh*

October 20

 		Hahaha. 'it' is whatever you want to buy on E-Bay.

Honestly though, I'd keel over laughing if this turns out to be pure marketing....

 		ok that was anti-climactic xP. Just more e-bay marketing. Didn't they do something like this a few years back?
