The most evil toy ever...

My friend Braden received a set of radio controlled tanks for Christmas this year. The tanks are equipped with infrared, similar to a TV remote control. When one player aims their tank at the other, they can "shoot" the other tank, thus getting a hit. In six hits, the player wins the game.

There is a twist, however.

When a player gets a hit, the player receiving the hit gets the heck shocked out of them by the control device in their hands. I am not kidding--a real, live electric shock is delivered through the metal plating on the tank remote and there's no way to control your tank without touching the metal. A handstrap is provided so you don't drop the controller; or, in Justin's case, the handstrap is provided so you don't throw the controller halfway across the apartment.

Besides the shock, the game is not very family friendly. Expletives and competitive behavior abounds.
