The cough silencer might actually be worth the money IF IT WORKED! But everyone I have ever chatted with online that tried one said it wasn't any better than just covering your mouth with your hands when you cough. The DEERVIEW MIRROR on the other hand is the dumbest thing I have ever seen advertised on television. And thats saying a lot. The first time I saw it I also thought it was a joke commercial. I bet if you buy that thing your name gets put on some secret government list of completely hopeless dumbasses.
