This defies description, well almost.
Amazon.com should be told what a bunch of morons they are, but maybe they left this up as a sick joke.

Under the product's picture are 57 customer submitted images, 7 you can "mouse over" to view, which are very appropriate except the ones 3 that Amazon put up, and if you click on "See all 57 customer images" you get the idea pretty quick that folks did not think that this item was a very good idea.
Be sure to click on or scroll down to the customer reviews, they are funny and not to be missed

It's through marketplace sellers, so I'm sure it's less-well moderated than other products. I actually enjoy the humor of the community on there. But really--a desk for driving? Sounds like a terrible idea to me, too.

lol at those pics and reviews.

Mother Goose · 11-29-09, 01:12 PM

Can you imagine the brainstorming session that preceded the manufacture of that product?

Archer0915 · 11-29-09, 01:34 PM

BS, where are those accidents attributed to this product. This product has a use but because the general populous is stupid they need not be sold.

Agree. A lot of people park and work in their car. This product is for them.

Amazon also has the disclaimer - "For safety reasons, never use this product while driving."

I'd like to see evidence of 50 car pile ups from a guy sitting in a parked car doing some work on his laptop. Or eating his lunch in a Mc Donald's parking lot.

ZAKTLY

I pick my daughter up from school and this would be perfect while I wait.

I love the gazillion jabs on the "intelligence levels" of amazon and the manufacturer. Sorry guys, they were and are using their brains. Perhaps a good look in the mirror and asking yourself why you initially thought this product was designed to be used while driving will tell you the truth.

I was thinking that myself... surely you cant use it while driving anyway as the table will turn with the wheel... sending off anything which was sitting on the table either out the window or into the passengers face....

SteveLord · 11-29-09, 04:43 PM

Agreed. Obviously not to be used while driving. But neither should texting or using your GPS. But who really does that? Not even police.

Funny stuff regardless. Reviews are priceless.

curtis1552 · 11-29-09, 04:43 PM

Still, the reviews are hilarious. I see some possible uses, but honestly not 20$ + S&H worth.

thaclassikz · 11-29-09, 07:50 PM

Obviously some people on this board can't take a joke.

I find it funny, and the reviews and pictures are just meant to be silly.

No one is talking about the joke reviews.

There are other reviews and posts that I have a hard time not understanding as 100% serious.

JoT · 11-30-09, 01:15 PM

While the page is in fact quite hilarious, seeing as the consumer is biting back at bad products and/or bad marketing, this thread has unfortunately not spawned a discussion.
