No this is not for your kids! Have you ever heard of this weird ass concept of Earworm assault device? No right? If you have, atleast even in the wildest of your dreams, then you deserve to be in either Hollywood or in "Fur". Well, "FUR", creators of the Painstation and Furminator, have just released about their project, Earworm Assault Devices. And also to baffle you more, this is a pretty old concept as well.

Sound is unavoidable (the ear can’t be shut like the eye) and evolutionary hardwired into our cognition apparatus. A well made sound can get stuck in the head of the hearer and loop for a varying time span. The infected person oftentimes repeats the sound involuntarily by singing, humming or whistling, eventually spreading the ear worm like a virus. The Earworm Assault Devices (EAD) enable individuals or small groups to distribute their own earworms. Small pieces of highly infectious sound or music can be recorded onto the devices and fired at single or multiple persons, eventually spreading your message out into the world. Currently the devices that are displayed are available.
