Prenatal Music System Claims Genius Baby Patent


Baby Music

Everyone wants their kid to be the next Leonardo Da Vinci, or the next Beethoven, or the next Tom Cruise minus all the headwhack. The thinkgeek people have come up with a musical system built primarily for pregnant mothers and their unborn fetuses. Because no other gift says 'high expectations' any better.

The RITMO (which sounds eerily like GITMO) musical system was built mainly for pregnant women and their unborn children, which apparently allows the fetuses to develop a better taste in music than most of their pop music boyband loving parents do in the prime of their own youths, supposed to make their little babies come out smarter than they're originally supposed to be - all for $99.99.

And of course, it doesn't matter that all known studies have failed to conclude that listening to classical music in the womb or in their first stages of infancy would actually make children smarter - many of these studies about classical music only involve adults, and the only proof concluded from these tests was that there WAS a positive intellectual change in adults from listening to classical music, but that this effect lasted no longer than an hour after listening. Now, the people over at thinkgeek are usually better people than this when it comes to selling geeky stuff, but we claim SHENANIGAN on this one.

And besides - if you are an underachiever who's never really done much with anything other than creating life, which usually tends to be an enjoyable process and requires no big sacrifices during those moments of conception, why foist such high expectations on your brood when you've got nothing but your own genes to blame? Let the little tyke wallow in the womb for nine months without having to feel like he has to prove himself even before he's born.
