Luminous Retort System V.1

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the unveiling of the new and revolutionary Luminous Retort System V.1. Priced at a mere QR. 99.99; this product is my very own invention and will enable users to counter Road-rage very effectively. I’m sure that like me, many of you often find yourself being tailgated by some fool in a SUV flashing his headlights as if they were death rays intended to kill you. Well, now you can fight back. The Luminous Retort System V.1 fits on to the rear of your car and utilizing advanced photoelectric technology, automatically generates a high intensity flash focused at the perpetrator, temporarily blinding him. This patented technology is the result of years of frustration experienced on the roads of Doha and is guaranteed to provide you with a more peaceful driving experience. Please place your orders via email; bulk orders will receive discounts. Also, the Luminous Retort System V.2 (beta) is currently available on a trial basis. It includes the Preemptive Strike feature which will emit a blinding flash at any SUV homing in on your vehicle with the intention of flashing at you; please contact for free trial versions.

Many thanks, etc.

I use the rearview mirror. Sometimes I turn around, but it's easier to use the mirror.

It seems like a physical impossibility to flash your special "Luminous retort system" at a guy who is tailgating you !!! Can you turn around while you drive or is there another way of doing it ? Please educate the ignorant by sharing your enlightened thoughts....

Gypsy,

This could well be an additional feature on Version 3 when it is released in June, 2008.

Thanks.

I love it...let's see who's in the hot seat now....LOL....can I order 10 :p

Seriously, with all these 4x4 driving around Doha, we might as well be in the states!!

...are you planning to use halogen bulbs or a xenon light source? You'll get a much more intense flash with xenon but the simplicity of halogen has much to offer.

If I may offer a suggestion for future models; perhaps you can offer an optional audio component to the excitement. Maybe a 400 watt PA system directed backwards to replay his honking at high volume. Of course, this would be an extra cost option.

Spikebelts, caltrops, ballbearings and other devices can also be employed if a more physical effect is called for.

Good luck, young entrepreneur...

Luminous Retort System V.1 or whatever is simply the guy's imagination. It is a specific kind of physological state that is the end result of years of sustained and supressed high frustration levels. Typical cases imagine that they become powerful enough to obliterate their sources of frustration by vivid and novel means !!! Something like the feeling when you watch action movies where the hero single-handedly destroying a city, you too imagine doing something like that to those whom you hate with all your heart. In this case, its those tail-gating SUV's and the crazies who drive them !!!

wondering whats he upto and whats on his mind and from where did he get this Lominous Retort. beware if the police caught u with that Mr. Smelly u will get fined coz thats not allowed here at all.NOT EVEN AVAILABLE here in market too and never will be.so forget it.

What an excellent idea! Temporarily blind the guy and cause even more misery and who knows what else.

If you're serious, I must ask: What are you, nuts?

If not, attach some pics or do a YouTube demo and share this amazing invention with the world.
