Supermarket cart entertainment

There's nothing more delightful than squealing grubby rugrats racing around the shopping aisles when you're trying to get your Alka-Seltzer morning relief after a big night out. Fortunately British supermarket chain Tesco may have a cure. They recently funded a study that found that three-fourths of parents found shopping with children stressful (which is only surprising that there is a one-fourth that doesn't) and want to develop something called the "Tantrum Tamer", a shopping trolley (that's British-ese for Shopping Cart) twith an electronic screen attached to the handle of the cart for playing DVDs, CDs, and educational games. The real fun, of course, will be in seeing how ruggedized Tesco has to make the things to survive the brutal affections of the 3-9 year-old set that will be torturing these things and how they stop hacker-types from swiping them for home use and cracking them open to feast on the gooey electro-goodness inside.
