Hey everyone!

You know, I just find it amazing how companies can just slap a well known brand name on their product(s), and assume it's going to sell just like the real thing.

I was at the mall looking at the new releases of video games, when I noticed this product sitting on a shelf, not far from the glass display case, at one of the stores.

This package is called Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker. I mean, if you think Guitar Hero made you look silly, welcome to this! The product, not sponsored by Harmonix or Red Octane, comes with:

• -Two "jammin'" picks.
• -Mini-amplifier.
• -Starter Air Cartridge with 10 guitar riffs - exchangeable Air Cartridge system expands guitar riff collection.
• -Connector cable.

I think how this works is that you hook up the hideous belt-buckle to your belt, plug it in to the also belt-bound amplifier, and you're ready to look completely stupid while hammering out tunes from Black Sabbath, Boston, Van Halen, Motorhead, and Deep Purple. It's just like having a pair of tiny speakers hooked up to your iPod only with the added bonus of making you look like an idiot. I guess it could be for children, cause children these days just go crazy for Motorhead and Black Sabbath. Anyway, this ridiculous product retails for $29.99.

If this is what kind of crap companies are making for the Guitar Hero franchise, imagine the stuff for Rock Band? *shutters*

Cheers!
