Irritating. Annoying. Infuriating. Sat Nag – the in-car nagging system. A spoof sat-nav unit with lenticular screen. Push the button to hear one of 25 highly irritating comments. For example: ‘In 100 metres, I’m going to ask you to move into the slow lane so I can fix my make up.’ ‘In 50 metres, if you fart again, I’m going to get out of this car and catch a bus.’ ‘You have reached your destination. You may now throttle your passenger.’ ‘I know you’re a man, but it’s been 45 minutes now. Can you please admit we’re lost and ask someone the way?’

Amazon.co.uk Review
Arguably the greatest black comedy ever made, Stanley Kubrick’s cold war classic is the ultimate satire of the nuclear age. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with “the purity of precious bodily fluids,” mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviets counter the threat with a so-called “Doomsday Device,” and the world hangs in the balance while the US president (Peter Sellers) engages in hilarious hot-line negotiations with his Soviet counterpart. Sellers also plays a British military attaché and the mad bomb-maker Dr. Strangelove; George C. Scott is outrageously frantic as General Buck Turgidson, whose presidential advice consists mainly of panic and statistics about “acceptable losses.” With dialogue (“You can’t fight here! This is the war room!”) and images (Slim Pickens’ character riding the bomb to oblivion) that have become a part of our cultural vocabulary, Kubrick’s film regularly appears on critics’ lists of the all-time best. –Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com –This text refers to another version of this video.
