One of the stupidest things I've ever seen, but I'll bet whoever invented it will make serious bank.
A friend of mine at my last job used to get PISSED when he saw shit like this. He's always wanted to be an inventor and make something that the public would snap up, but every time he thinks he's got something, somebody beat him to it. Case in point, he had an idea for something to help with raking up and disposing of leaves, a simple bag holder that cost next to nothing to make. Then he saw an ad for the same damn thing, except even simpler. My buddy was pissed for three days.

My old coworker called me one night and gave me a one hour dissertation on his million dollar idea for a website, that was going to be to help people who were going to sell their homes without using a real estate agent. It took me a few days to get the heart to tell him about forsalebyowner.com.

Actually, my buddy looks like a young Ozzy, but you ain't far off, Chris!
And you're 100% right, it is just a harmonica holder, but marketed right, some clever ass will do a Navin R. Johnson and make millions. Even the lawn bag holder thingy I mentioned before was just an old-style folding TV tray, or garment bag holder, just repurposed to hold a bag to dump your leaves in.
