A Slight Distortion:
Yes, they laughed at my bug-zapper earrings, they denied a patent to my remote-controlled motorized TV guide channel windowshade, and somebody else trademarked my demented parson-clad Teddy--Gladly the Cross-eyed Bear. But I still have a million-dollar idea before breakfast every day. For instance, I was watching the usual talking-head duel the other day. There was my guy--bright, hip, articulate--and the other guy, some think-tank troglodyte aparatchik. Who knows what he said. It was like when the grown-ups talk in Peanuts cartoons--nothing but trombone music.
So, in these polarized times, I figure America is ready for the Wah-wha-wha Filter (patent pending). A little button next to "mute" on the remote that, when activated, runs the TV audio through a distortion filter, overlaying the speech with synthesized trombones. Mind made up?--why pretend?

Yes, I'd buy such a filter for my car radio. Hopefully the deluxe edition will have a bulls*it/political doublespeak detector, user-configurable to suit either conservatives or liberals, to automatically engage the wah-wah at the appropriate time. But even a manual filter button will do nicely. I'll use it regularly for at least the next 3 years.
