Heh - forget a new Jumbotron - we clearly need one of these for the home of "Flames" ..

"Flames Goal! Scored by #12......JAROOOOOOOOOOOME IGINLAAAA!!!!!"
(Jumbotron cuts to random Oiler Fan running around and shrieking after being zapped)

Instead of the "Smooch Cam" the "Stop Drop and Roll" Cam....




In all seriousness... the last quote gives a glimpse as to why a weapon like this is a great idea in practice, but would be a bad idea given the possible abuses.....

Airman Blaine Pernell, 22, said he could have used the system during his four tours in Iraq, where he manned watchtowers around a base near Kirkuk. He said Iraqis constantly pulled up and faked car problems so they could scout out U.S. forces.
"All we could do is watch them," he said. But if they had the ray gun, troops "could have dispersed them."


A Little open to abuse perhaps? Zapping anyone that looks at you funny? Al-Jazeera will love this. Video from this'll make those UCLA Taser videos look like Big Chief Jerky Bloopers.
