Up! Down! No, go that way!

Up! Down! No, go that way!

Last year Taiyo brought us the Cockroach Helicopter. Now, the toymaker is back with another flying toy that — whisper it — might be even more kick-ass. Sure, the Voice-Heli lacks the grotesqueness of its predecessor, but it still has plenty of potential for annoying the hell out of your parents.

And get this: it’s voice activated. Intrepid pilots can use a microphone headset to deliver simple orders, making their amazing flying machine start, stop, ascend, descend and hover. More complex maneuvers — such as avoiding the newspaper that their irate dad just threw at the chopper — must be executed with a remote control. (Metropolis)

    Wonder in what language do the commands need to be spoken?

    I'm just impressed that a reputable news organization is willing to use the word "kick-ass". As an adjective, to boot!

    No reputable news organization has ever used that word. Did I miss something?

    I am a tad disapointed. From the title alone, I was expecting another kind of device entirely...
