Undoubtedly I have a twisted mind, but *I* found it funny.  (Particularly when they talked about "Men who change their 
minds about having children would then simply point the remote handset at their testicles and press a button to open up 
the valve.")

Oh, you wanted a security relation?  Well, my wife's first reaction was that any *woman* involved in a relationship 
that included such a device would want her own form of backup.  Also, given the guys running around with devices that 
unlock cars, any government that wanted to increase or decrease population for any reason might start ontacting 
carjackers ...

(Do your privates beep and flash when your turn them on or off?  Sorry!  Sorry! ...)
