No, it's not quite like the "cone of silence" thing in Get Smart -- hell, it probably costs more -- but it's certainly in the same vein.

In this week's offbeat news, the Ovei isolation pod, reportedly launched this week in the UK, will let you scream how "so happy!" you are all you'd like while you're watching Get Smart on DVD. For the rough exchanged sum of $100,000, you get a unique capsule designed by Lee McCormack and made by McLaren Applied Technologies (of exotic sportscar fame), custom-built exactly how you want: media center, gaming rig, interior, exterior...for all I know, you might be able to get a CONTROL decal plastered on the thing.

For city dwellers who watch home videos punctuated by ambulances, horns and drunken revelry, this seems like an interesting solution (short of, you know, covering the whole apartment in ultra-dense, recording studio-quality foam). On the other hand, you might not hear the fire alarm when your building is burning down.

The "ultimate personal entertainment experience" indeed. Because nothing's more entertaining than yourself.
