I like how the narration is calm and calculated. This individual is very clever indeed.

WOW, that IS genius. how is it 2009 before somebody thought of that?

I'd like to see it without the safety cover though. i'm grown up enough to not need that bit.

I think the safety cover makes it even more beautiful... And useful when you spill a drink on it when its used on a power strip on the floor?

better yet, it'll hopefully end episodes when you're running in your apartment and suddenly find you've just trodden on a 3-pin plug – ouch!

whats up with the backwards plugs, UK
- massive safety overkill to make up for old/messy/unsafe electrical infrastructure.ribit
- We have an earth connection. Guess that means you get electrocuted a lot?Nightshade
- the UK plug also has a system that closes the slots in the socket until plug is insertedribit

very clever... glad we don't deal w/that shit here in the states
- you just have to deal with plugs that fall out of the wall...ribit
- ? I've never had a plug 'fall out of the wall'...?PonyBoy
- and irritating 'do not eat this plug', 'dont bathe with this plug' labels on everythingribit
- Apple power adapter only just stays in if you are luckyribit
- you can tear those labels right off...but have fun w/your massive three prong paperweight :)PonyBoy
- I want to kill those too.. Wondering when we can buy the folding plug?ribit
