[HUMOR]: The Danger of When Programmable Logic Meets the Con

[Prevailing over Technolog]

Okay, perhaps this a little off topic, but here's a video that I and
others might find funny courtesy of the MachXO2 folks at Lattice.
Just so you know, yes, it's a spoof of that great American classic--
the informercial. Think Sham Wow, but for silicon.

Semiconductor marketing should pick up comedy.
I am bored by marketing sending me highly expectable messages like
"Our Product is best!" in ever new words.
Someone with humour can easily steal the show from the dead serious
marketing robot.

Is the Smockie lab coat mentioned for real, or is it Vaporwear?

Only if you leave the soldering iron on it for too long.

Badum-tish. The product page mentioned in the video exists, but is a joke
(<http://www.latticesemi.com/products/cpld/machxo2/smockie.cfm&gt, but if
they don't have them to give out at trade shows they're fools.

I don't normally go to trade shows, but I would go to get one of
those!
