Yup, this could be a new feature on the new Minolta Maxxum
12FLEBO.
Here is a sample add copy:
"Finally, a camera that not only thinks like a photographer,
but has the ability over time to interact with its owner. The
new Maxxum 12 FLEBO is the camera the world has been waiting
for.
How can a camera do all this?
First, we mounted a razor sharp needle in the viewfinder
area. The first time you raise the camera to your eye, this
needle is injected past your eye into your brain, thereby
lobotomizing you.
We can't make a smarter camera, so we had to make a dumber
photographer.
A new feature added to this extraordinary camera is the "Eye
BurnOut" feature.
We mounted a laser in the camera body pointing backwards. Over
time, this feature will burn a hole in the camera back, and will
eventually burn out the photographers eye.
We can't make sharp lenses, so we have to make photographers who
can't see, just to stay competitive.
The Maxxum 12 FLEBO, only from the minds of Minolta".
Sorry Tom, if I owe you another beer.
