A small directed motion sensor worn in a pendant. The sensor is pointed at the jaw line of the wearer. The pendant is styled in beautiful, durable Diamonique and is connected to the wearers personal stereo by a discrete wire. When the stereo is on, the sensor scans the jaw line for movement. If
the jaw moves independently of the head, the pendant sends a signal to the personal stereo and cuts the music. The user can set the length of time the music is stopped using the Diamonique dial in the middle of the pendant.
Advantage #1: No more singing along in public.
Advantage #2: No more mouthing along in public.
Advantage #3: No need to fiddle about with buttons when you want to engage in conversation, the pendant simply stops the music when you open your mouth.
Advantage #4: It is now impossible to walkman and chew gum at the same time.
Advantage #5: Recidivist sing-a-longers will eventually develop the important life skill that is ventriloquism.
Not suitable for cows.

Downside #1: shouting loudly because you think everybody hears the music like you do, but then feeling doubly stupid in front of yourself because the music has just shut off. |

|
Advantage #6: Extra geek points. |
