Insignia’s Little Buddy Child Tracker encourages kids to run away, disown parents

October 23rd, 2009 | Category: Gadget Corner

With a name like “Little Buddy Child Tracker,” you know that thing has to be terrible, right? Insignia, Best Buy’s house type, has just listed an incredibly invasive and humiliating new GPS tracker on its site, and rather than promoting it as just that, the marketing brains have decided it best to aim that at paranoid mums and dads who’ve done such a poor job raising their offspring that they can’t even trust ‘em to trek out on their own. All sensationalism aside, there’s little Insignia can say or do to remedy the product labeling job, but whether you’re okay with shoving that extra-small stick into your youngster’s lunch box, you can keep tabs on his / her exact location and have alerts sent to you via SMS whether

they leave a designated area. Just produce certain they don’t ever know that you were responsible for planting that thing on their person, else you can forget about junior footing those nursing home bills when the day comes.
