I've been thinking about inventing something that will make me popular and get a whole shitload of money, but somebody already invented electricity and carpet and doors so I came up with a new idea: WebBongos.

FAQ

1. What are WebBongos? WebBongos are the first percussive instrument wired for the web! Teens can chat on Bongo dot Com (I need to buy the domain but I have an angel investor I think) and send out sick beats via BongoChat. They can effortlessly share social messages and the hottest internet memes via wireless G Bongo Dot Com service for a premium monthly wage.

2. How do WebBongos work? Well this is the tricky part and I dont want to bog you down with all the technical engineering terms, but quite simply they are hooked up to a inline four car engine which (somehow) sends your bongo beats to the internet via Bongo Dot Com (again, the angel investor will have to sort this stuff out).



3. Wow what kind of messages and things can I send? The sky's the limit! Some popular messages include:
  • Grandma is coming
  • Grandma is near
  • Grandma is here
  • Help grandma up
  • Lets sext (cyber text)
  • I'm touching ur knee
  • SSE (Spilled Soda Everywhere)
  • Grandma is cleaning up the soda
Obviously Bongo Dot Com will not allow illegal activities such as the discussion of drug use or animal abuse or crime gangs or slang or obscenities because we will also double as a Christian Ministry (tapping out the beat of the Lord Jesus Christ).

4. Will this leverage the power of cloud computering? Yes definitely.



Imagine a world of bongos... on the go! The hottest rhythms and BongoChat messages to your home, phone, TV, Xbox, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Xbox 4, Xbox Nintendo Wii, Xbox Nintendo Wii U, phone, toaster, blimp, phone and phone! Save and bookmark and upload and reddit and bChat to your own beat!

5. Do you have your own graphic? YES! Here it is:



6. Wow, I'm obviously interested! But how can I help get on the WebBongo Bandwagon? We will be spreading our viral social media campaign soon via major outlets such as IRC and Doom 2 BBSes (including Happy Puppy FTP). You can volunteer and get on the WebBongo Bandwagon by clicking here: website.

I mean here: website name

We don't currently have our list working but stay tuned in for the hottest internet sensation! WebBongos.

That gamecube game where it's like guitar hero but with fuckin bongos instead was actually super fun. I'm behind this 100% I'll be your investor. I had this money sitting here and I've just been looking for the right idea man to come along.

We have several tiers:

1. < $10 - PREMIUM BACKER - Club WebBongos permanent tattoo on your head for 50% off!
2. < $100 - DIAMOND BACKER - Trip to the local petting zoo while a WebBongos expert shouts "WEBBONGOS DOT COM" into your ear with a megaphone for a period of several hours.
3. < $1000 - PLATINUM BACKER - Meal at WebBongos offices in which we recreate the Last Supper before a stripper comes out of a birthday cake and reminds you that you were a mistake.
4. < $10,000 ULTRA HEADSHOT BACKER - We show up at your home or apartment and light fires and if you email us and ask us to stop lighting so many fires we will say no.
5. < $100,000 GODMODE BACKER - A tractor(???)

It all looks pretty air tight but I'm leery of anything that touts use of "the cloud" because as far as I'm concerned it's buzzword bullshit that always fails to deliver.

I already have a non-web version of these for my Gamecube.

Can you make an addon so I can use them on the internet? Maybe when someone calls me a name I don't like I can smash them really hard to show how upset I am.

Bad news, Lowtax, I overheard on my police band scanner that WebBongos just got featured in an article on Equestriadaily dot com. It looks like the WebBongo community is about to be ruined forever.
Sorry, dude, I'm jumping ship before in the influx of rainbow pony enthusiasts.

Shares? Haha look at this guy trying to be an "investor". It's all "backers" now.
