I thought this was a nicely put together spoof of kick starter, I'm flabbergasted how that has raised so much money. The people using it look like the heaven's gate cult photos from years ago.

I don't really understand the cult connection, even after Googling Heaven's Gate (I am too young to remember much about them directly). But on the topic at hand, I would buy one of these, or at least, I definitely would if I were still in High School. On state standardized test days (normally a half-week occurring a few times per year), I (and many peers) would inevitably finish in about 2 of 4 hours. Of course we were obligated to stay in the room and remain completely silent for the entire 4, so I would fold a jacket such that it fashioned a very poorly-functioning version of this. The main issue while using a jacket was having proper respiration between my face-down head and the desk. If this product solves this when it comes out (maybe I can try it out somewhere? Brookstone or some such?), I can see myself considering it.

  You sound like a perfect actor for their next infomercial.

  They all committed suicide with cloth bags over their heads. It's an extremely creepy sight and I won't be linking to the photos for many obvious reasons, but...they look just like they're all wearing this product.

That's the first thing I thought of as well and I'm not ashamed to say I found it slightly funny. On a more serious note, this is really a "how to get your stuff stolen" hat.

  Eh, just put them in the hat. Looks like there's enough space.

    Which makes the things easier to nick... Club individual on head, yank thing, run away.
