Husband annoying? Put him in a box

Tirryb writes "News.com.au reports that Japanese company Yamaha has come up with a novel solution to keep Japanese women happy.

Apparently husbands can be very annoying with the noise and mess they make, so Yahama have developed a big sound-proof box called 'MyRoom' that can be installed in the home and decked out with mini tables etc for the husband to 'spend his time in without annoying the wife'. Apparently Japanese wive's are mortified about losing their tranquility (i.e. living at home while their husbands kill themselves working hard) when hubby retires. The solution, of course, is to shove him in a box so you can carry on being a couch potato.

Of course the media is treating this as a hilarious story, men treated like pets or little kids to be locked away.

Yamaha has already heard from me on how they've lost my business for good - anyone else want to tell them what men think of this, the Yamaha corporation of America can be contacted on infostation@yamaha.com. This article was originally written by The Times of London, Leo Lewis. The Times online editor can be contacted at online.editor@timesonline.co.uk."



I wonder how many fair women, who are grateful to their husbands for working their whole lives to pay for their homes, will object to their sacrifices being demeaned like this? - Hombre
