Ideas – January 12th 2019
- New spokesperson.mascot for American Express, “Amex Ahmed” Ahmed is a perfectly respectable citizen who nevertheless gets hassle when travelling, simply because he has brown skin and is called Ahmed. That is, until he gets an american express card and this magically helps overcome prejudice and paranoia.
- When he pulls the card out of his wallet and hands it over, the image is stabilised on the card, so the card appears to be staying still while everything else is moving around it.
- Then he throws the card into the air and it turns into a plane.
- Camera zooms into one of the windows and inside the plane where we see Ahmed in first class, giving a big thumbs up.
- Alarm that knows when you’re up and awake, so it doesn’t go off again
- US-Bots. Little toy robots that dance when you plug them into a USB port
- Alternative version. They have USB ports in place of their hands, so you can plug devices, like USB sticks, in and they become the robots weapons. Every USB device presents certain ID information, software in the robot creates a hash of that and number can be fed into a generator to create the robots name/bio/stats. You then use an app to access that information and battle your robots.
- If you beat a robot, you have the option of taking a weapon from the defeated robot and using that. Otherwise, switching weapons loses you points, this is to limit people trying loads of different things until they get good stats.
- Some sort of storage thing for henry hoovers so it’s not just in the fucking way no matter where you put it.
- A toastie machine that makes toasties in the shape of little tuxedo jackets.
