CARazy TABLE: Infomercial Review

If you haven't seen the infomercial For CARazy Table, let me explain the concept to you. This is a mobile desk for your car. It fits over your steering wheel to create something similar to the pull-down tray on an airliner. It stays perfectly balanced and provides convenient spots to hold anything that you might need to use in the car. It's one of the coolest ideas I've seen on an infomercial, because frankly, it's something I could use. For two reasons. First, it's great for eating meals when you want to go to McDonalds or Burger King and eat in the parking lot. Second, it's great for doing some work on my laptop when I'm waiting for someone (which I do often).

The CARaziest thing about CARazy Table, though, is the warning label that some lawyer forced them to include. The warning on the website says, "DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE WHILE USING THIS PRODUCT." Really? Are there people out there stupid enough to think that this is meant to allow you to type on your computer while driving?

Then again, there probably really are people who think that. After all, stupid people forced the following actual labels on actual products:

* Window Cleaner: "Avoid Spraying in Eyes"

* Toilet Plunger: "Not for Use Near Power Lines"

* Dremel (Power Tool): "Should Not Be Used As a Dental Drill"

* Disposable Lighter: "Ignite Away From the Face"

* Hairdryer: "Never Use While Sleeping"

* Iron: "Avoid Ironing While Wearing Garment"

* Frozen TV Dinner: "Defrost Before Use"

So yeah, maybe it does need to be stated: Please don't try to use the CARazy mobile desk while you're driving. But for the smart person who needs to be organized and productive while he's waiting in his automobile, no warning is necessary: Just buy it!
