Not only do I like what they’ve done with the blanks, I <3 the CD cases they’re using. About a year ago those cases started showing up in the 99cent stores here in LA, at the discount of 5 for you guessed it, 99 cents. I discovered those cd cases about 5 years ago, and found they are the definite cure for the office/cubical blues. With a good flick of the wrist you can launch those dull and useless old CDRs a whopping 30 yards with those fine cd cases. Probably not the intended purpose, but if you feel you’ll get in serious trouble either wasting office supplies or poking holes in your coworkers I’d definitely suggest an arsenal of old CDRs over the canned air dart gun.
Had these been around about five, or even two or three years ago, I imagine they would have made quite a splash. Unfortunately, we’ve entered an era where the 100pk spindle of CD-R’s I purchased about four months ago will probably be the last of that media I ever buy. That is not a claim to be any more technologically advanced than the average user, I just believe they have seen their day. Hell, the minute anybody purchases an iPod or any decent mp3 player, they’ve immediately cut their dependence on CD-R’s by well over 50 percent. I guess they’re still valid with regard to DVD’s, but I think we’ve reached a point where all of our current physical media standards days are numbered– and along with it go their respective examples of gimmickery.
