Let me get this straight. I pay around $35 to assemble this thing that moves for all of five seconds? How can I get hours of fun out of that? I would think the average person would be bored well before that, or perhaps would be most entertained putting it together than actually doing anything with it, in which all you've got is some sort of storage container. Now of course you'll tell me "Well then don't buy it" Last I checked, when you make a product, you WANT people to buy it. Calling it the "Useless Machine" is inevitably going to turn most people away. Even buying for laughs, how long do you expect to be laughing? I doubt little more than seconds. I'm not sure what the maker(s) think they're going to get out of this but unless they do more than add minute attachments that do not add to the functionality of the device like perhaps having the device show a different message each time it's used or it makes a different noise, I see its future like its operations: open and shut.

OP
Sure is. "Oh look, you guys, it opened and closed! Isn't that amazing?!" You'll get more entertainment out of a video game.
