Laser Pointer Emoticons

I have seen heart shapes and stars and maybe an occasional smiley. But what about a complete line of different emoticons to express different emotions. A standard laser pointer fitted with a stencil wheel showing a smile, a frown, a grimace, etc.. Picture a marketing presentation in a corporate boardroom where the presentor flashes a concept presentation on-screen and asks for some feedback. Suddenly the screen is filled with tiny emoticons showing how the members of the audience feel about the different parts of the presentation. Great for expressing emotions across some distance like in a stand-up comedy act, a priest's sermon, etc..

       This could lead to an arms race of laser pointers. People would start packing hidden battery packs for extra intensity. Duelling laser wars could erupt, people would take sides and form alliances, plotting chess like stategies to overwhelm opposing opinion. By concentating their lightpower at single points, the screen would resemble a battlefield with burning and smoking laserholes.

       Throwing flowers, coins or over-ripe fruit seems to be the preferred system and you don't need to carry any batteries around - unless your going to throw them as well.

       So carry around a pointer with a picture of flowers or rotten fruit.   

       Better yet, carry a big rotten fruit firing gun (that fits into your back pocket, of course) and use the emoticons as a laser pointer. That way, the performer will try to avoid any bad emoticons landing on him - you could chase him around the stage with your pointer.   

       Rose firing guns will be available as well.

       A few years back I bought a laser pointer that came with some fifty different patterns, including a full range of faces from smiley to frown to mad. (i.e., Baked)
