Default Scented Set Top Boxes??
As i saw on GMA this morning they are trialling set top boxes that can emit certain scents to your living room.
IE you are watching home & away & it gives off a scent of the ocean, Or you watch a BBQ & you can actually smell it...
What a waste of time.
I wonder when Rex hunt goes fishing , you will be able to smell fish??? ERRggg

I heard about this kind of stuff a few years ago, so it might not be April fools. Burnout videos would be sooooo much better.

Yeah, Aprils fools for sure.

However, on a side note... desktop boxes dont do well because people dont see a need to buy them. Have a porn channel and they wont be able to keep them in stock long enough
