Gore’s Invention to Combat Illegal Wiretapping
(FiniteTimes.com) – Just days after his speech at the Liberty Coalition in which he slammed President Bush’s “excessive power grab” and called into question the legality of NSA wiretaps, Al Gore has come up with a solution.
“I invented the Cone of Silence,” Gore admitted at a hastily-called news conference. “With this device, you can talk to people six feet away and the fascists in the current administration can not hear you. It’s like you’re in a little soundproof lockbox.”
A demonstration of the technology showed that, while promising for those who wish to talk privately with someone six feet away, the Cone of Silence needs a bit more work before it can be realistically rolled out. The sound in the Cone was marginal at best, although some words, such as “Chief,” seemed to traverse the Cone’s audio chamber better than others.
The bulky nature of the device may also be a turnoff for those who aren’t adverse to just writing shit on a piece of paper and stretching to hand it to the person six feet away.
Gore’s Cone of Silence should be available at most retail stores by July.
