Love this laughter: Sony's sublime emotion-detecting patent illustration

Patent illustrators are surely in on their own jokes, right? I can conceive of no reality in which the designer behind Fig. 2 of Sony's newly patented emotion-detecting system didn't understand what he'd just created, especially as they perfectly distilled What TV Comedy Looks Like.

Either way, it's proved the perfect weekend distraction for the Photoshop-happy forum-goers at NeoGAF. [via Negatendo]

He's actually watching Fox's new fall lineup.

This show is the lead-in to "Ow, My Balls!"

Hm. Patents are public-domain documents, right? If so, there's nothing keeping this from becoming a T-shirt design...

Regardless of whether one can sell a T-shirt with this on it, I must at least own one.
