Creativity Wasted

Idea: Scientists predict that a landslide on a tiny island off the coast of Africa could create a mega-tsunami across the entire East Coast of the US. Since such a small thing (a landslide on a tiny island) can create a tsunami, it should also be possible to design a giant machine to create a tsunami. Also: maybe a tsunami machine could create a tsunami to cancel out another tsunami Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 14 Erich Laux (twitter.com/ErichJLaux) Scott Wilding (twitter.com/Wilding138) Michael Dinkelis (twitter.com/MichaelDinkelis) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A parody sci-fi sequal to the movie Forrest Gump, where Forrest Gump lives as artificial intelligence in a computer, plays Pong instead of Ping Pong, takes over Skynet, and blows up the world in order to destroy all pornographic digital pictures of Jenny Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 14 Erich Laux (twitter.com/ErichJLaux) Scott Wilding (twitter.com/Wilding138) Michael Dinkelis (twitter.com/MichaelDinkelis) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A campy sitcom where the devil loses Hell in foreclosure, goes to Earth, and tries to buy enough souls through telemarketing to buy back Hell.

Idea: An app which detects that you've thrown your phone and simulates an old school angry phone slam to the person on the other end of the call. Also: maybe automatically delete the person on the other end of the call from your contacts, maybe use a custom angry hangup message instead of a "phone slam" sound Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 14 Erich Laux (twitter.com/ErichJLaux) Scott Wilding (twitter.com/Wilding138) Michael Dinkelis (twitter.com/MichaelDinkelis) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A recreational fake kidnapping service (as inspired by "escape rooms") where you have to solve puzzles to escape. Also: a fake kidnapping "promposal" and how it could go wrong, staging a heroic escape (as a couple) from fake kidnappers and then never telling your girl/boyfriend that it was fake, PTSD Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 13 Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining) Alex Bozinovic (twitter.com/truheroism) Jeff Ford Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: a toy-sized drone to be used to fly drugs out of your car window if you get pulled over by the cops.
