Clip Du Jour: Beer Launcher

In a new blog experience (well, not that new cos I've been doing it, but now it's official) I'm going to start posting the best clip of the day (or every few days) that I happen to find out there on the good ol' interweb.

Today's clip comes from a guy named John W. Cornwell who has invented a minifridge that automatically launches beers to your lazy ass as you sit on the couch and watch the game. The mechanics are meticulous and it seems to work exactly as planned. Check out the fridge in action:

You can check out more specifics on Mr. Cornwell's website. He estimates that it costs about $2,500 to put one together, so you have to be lazy and loaded to pick up one of these gadgets. If you have $2,500 to blow couldn't you just pay someone to walk the beer over to you? Or at least train some sort of dog or chimp? I think instead of beer I'd want mine to shoot cupcakes or delicious McDonalds hamburgers.

What would you want? Discuss.
