Okay, I need one of these

Can you imagine it? Clear out the line at the music store, enjoy a museum
in DC during the Summer, this is the perfect tool.

"Howard Stapleton's "Mosquito" emits an ultrasonic sound which can be heard
by most kids and teenagers but is inaudible to the majority of adults over
30 due to the inevitable deterioration of hearing with age."

I guess they could have a moratorium at the mall before school starts
so that Mom can take the kids to get their school clothes. But, yeah,
I can see this. It'll just drive the kids out of the malls and onto
the streets. Kinda like all the smokers crowding around the entrances
to buildings. Talk about unintended consequences....

(who thinks the kids should have a little more parental interaction,
like, say, taking them fishing?)

Heard the story on the radio while dropping my 14 year old son off at school
this morning. He just shook his head and said "why would anyone want to hang
out at the mall anyway"... That comment put a smile on my face for the
day... Guess I have done something right...

Have a great weekend all,

William and Joseph makes a $10 version of this which is supposed to drive
away female mosquitoes. I guess my hearing still has broadband capability
because I can definitely hear the high pitched sound.

Maybe because he knows the females will not be there?

You can always go cheap and play a boom box with Deby Boone singing
"You light up my life". Then again, that may drive away other than
just teenagers.

That's because you ain't been married long enough. My wife says I'm
deaf.

Same idea, different music: some malls and stores have
started to play classical music over their sound systems.
