Remote Control Mistletoe Drone: Kiss Kopter

Posted on by

Want to encourage the ladies to kiss you during the holiday season? Nothing beats the Mistletoe Drone from Hammacher Schlemmer. This compact remote control drone is outfitted with a festive mistletoe design.

That’s one way for a nerd to get some action. The drone comes with an infrared remote that offers line-of-sight operation, and you can even operate multiple drones together without interference. If this still doesn’t get you a kiss, I don’t know what to tell you.

It’s an innovative way to get the attention of those you want to kiss anyway. Unlike regular mistletoe, this one comes and goes. Is there someone you don’t want to kiss? Just leave that drone parked. Of course there is always the danger that they brought their own.

TGI Fridays Deploying Mistletoe-Equipped Drones in Search of PDA

Posted on by

TGI Friday’s, which is a name that I hate writing, on account of the fact that the phrase “Thank God It’s Friday” is somehow in possession of something, it’s going to be strapping mistletoe on to quad-rotor drones and hovering them over couples in an attempt to strengthen their immune systems via the germ-sharing act of kissing. It’s not like an organization has ever caused extreme awkwardness by trying to pressure a guy into kissing his sister, or a girl into kissing her gay friend, or a married guy into kissing his boss, etc.

It appears that only UK-area restaurants are running this promotion right now, so feel free to go to Friday’s for your business lunches until further notice. Of course, you could always just choose a better restaurant and go there instead. You’d avail yourself of better food and take no risk of having a group of strangers who like really greasy food try to peer pressure you into kissing your niece. Or that insipid birthday song.
