Darth Vader Invades Your GPS

A friend once told me that a dead flea had a better sense of direction than I did, so I had to kill him … in my mind. He’s not half wrong, my path-finding skills are minimal at best and I should really invest in a GPS. I’ve seen a Garmin ad on the television – the one with a salmon using its natural abilities to overcome obstacles and safely arrive at its intended destination. It’s lucky that ad stopped where it did, for salmon have a nasty habit of dropping dead shortly after spawning.

And then there’s Dutch GPS manufacturer, TomTom, who have reached out to the galaxies and obtained the services of a certain dark lord of the sith to provide voice directions while you drive to your destination.  A big bag of WIN right there. Watch the outtakes as Lord Vader records his GPS voice for TomTom. He compels you to turn to the dark side.

Roundabounds, lol. You can buy Vader’s voice at the TomTom official website for USD 12.00.
