Laptop desk that fits on your steering wheel …


The Laptop Steering Wheel Desk has to be the most irresponsible, dangerous, stupidest invention I’ve seen in a long time. For just $24.95 plus shipping, you can take texting-while-driving to the next level.

Welcome to the most productive road trip ever! Just think, you could blog, work, Skype, play WOW, forward pictures of puppies and read the news — all from the comfort of the highway. Imagine what you’d get done on the Trans-Canada.

Seriously now … it’s like these “Cyberguys!” who sell it have no heart. Or they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. It does say: “For safety reasons, never use this product while driving.” But … yeah. Like that’s gonna happen. And they knew it when they made it. Next time you see a typo in a coworker’s e-mail, ask them if they were trying to make a left turn.

And now, onto the greatest thing about this product: The user reviews. They are completely hilarious. Good work America, we love you. Some highlights:

“I use it as a ‘mini-bar’ when the friends and I go out to the bars. I can quickly fix multiple shots of tequila for myself and the friends as we drive from one bar to the next. We also discovered that if you place a pillow on top of it and turn on the cruise control you can catch quick naps on the interstate.” — T. Meadows “TM”

“I loved my Laptop Steering Wheel Desk so much I got one for my 90yr old mother. She is an avid crossword puzzle fan and now she can work on them while she is driving back and forth from bingo at the senior center.” — S. Kelly

“This has been a total lifesaver. It allows me to prop my sheet music against the wheel, allowing me to play the guitar with both hands while driving.” — Brent A. Nelson

Jamie O’Shaughnessy had the following qualm:
“In several accidents that I have had whilst using this, the airbag causes the laptop screen to slam shut. I’ve suffered several broken fingers because of this. I have started to look around for airbag finger protection but have not yet found any…”

So, you know, get on that, Cyberguys!.
