I stopped by a local sporting goods store today to pick up an air mattress, and while browsing the racks, I noticed a particularly disturbing selection. Coleman has apparently created an air mattress with “mp3 speakers” built in. That’s right, you can hook up your iPod to your air mattress. You see that shitty little cord coming out of the black rectangle on the edge of the mattress? That’s your iPod/mp3 player hookup, and it connects to an unlistenable speaker as well! This is a crossover so hopelessly misguided that I had to stop and stare to make sure I was reading it correctly. You know the mp3 revolution is getting tired when it starts being featured in mattresses.
