<p>I see all of you got that same sinking feeling from the US vid as I did. The Mathmos one made me smile. Especially hearing Mr Walker talk of the female and male shapes the goo creates. Guess it wasn't my imagination ;)</p>
<p>Oh and wonder if the female office worker at LL was Susan???</p>

They could have done something cool, but noooooooooooooooooo. <br/><br/>Gah, Lava Lite is just so embarrassing. <br/><br/>I thought they were going to say "They have many returns..." LOL </p>

<p>"the largest demographic of growth is actually kids under 18."</p>
<p></p>
<p>i'm an optimist, but i'm also a realist. given the above statement, i highly doubt we're going to see a quality lamp from LL in the future. they need to keep costs low in order for this demographic to afford the lamp, and a quality lamp isn't going to be cheap.</p>
