Curious Mini Travel Alarm Clock with Body Mass Index Indicator

Travel Alarm Clock and BMI Calculator Gadget

If you keenly watch your weight and simply cannot envisage getting out of bed without reaffirming how fat you are (or aren’t) then this mini travel alarm clock with integral BMI (Body Mass Indicator) is just what you need – or, conversely, is just what you can do without.

Quite why anyone would want to own a device that will serve merely to further any particular paranoia/depression/concerns regarding one’s weight is wholly beyond me; it’s seven-thirty, and yes you’re still casting a shadow comparable to that of the Hindenburg – what a great start to the day.

In our hopelessly appearance obsessed age where what you look like seemingly wholly outweighs (pun entirely intended) who you are devices such as this, as far as we are concerned, seem merely to pander to the notion that all of us should be a certain size/shape or we’re some sort of social reject. Frankly, apart from associated health issues associated with genuine obesity, its utter nonsense devised by glossy magazines that serve to prop up a series of industries (from fashion through to health foods and gyms) that feed from resulting induced paranoia.

Still, if you have a burning desire to keep a continuous tab of your BMI I suppose that this particular gadget is of some use – if only to put you off from tucking into that third donut before 9.30.

We look forward to a gadget that will perform a character test on the fly – something along the lines of either ‘you’re a complete ******’ or, actually ‘hey, you’re ok’ – or another gadget that works along the lines of ‘yup, you’re totally gorgeous but a complete coke-head with an IQ of 0.5 (oh, and, by the way, you’re lousy in bed)’, but we suspect we’ll be waiting a while.
