From Hoyt Smith - our morning show host on KDFC:

I love the Japanese. They have a most unique take on life. Their culture, especially pop culture, is full of surprises. My latest bit of wonder is the news item about the toy maker TOMY and their new gadget/toy to inspire Japan's youth to save. The Savings Bomb, to be introduced next week, will explode and scatter it's contents around the room if you do not feed it regularly. "Users must pick up and collect scattered coins and reflect on their laziness," said a company spokesman. That's maybe a little to "zen" for kids in the U.S., but I bet we'll see it on store shelves by Christmas.
