Kerry's French-made Secret Debating Decoder Pen


John Kerry may have been using the French-made pen "Le Stylo Secret de Debat 500ZX Pro edition" for the first debate.

The way it works is that what appears to be a simple fountain pen is indeed a major accomplishment in secret debating tools for the 21st Century.

There are programmable buttons that are on the pen that interface with a wireless LED contact lens that is worn by the pen user.

With this pen, you can search Google for answers, have the pen write pre-programmed talking points, operate an overhead camera that spies on your opponent's debate notes, a signal squelcher that interrupts earpiece signals worn by your opponent, a thought process scrambler to paralyze your opponent and even a button that accelerates time on your opponent's time clock.

No wonder Kerry won!

6. LOL..how much do one of these things cost??
Using the Teresa Heinz fortune to buy one of these things (they don't come cheap) was no doubt another unfair advantage.

I hate how this forum has threads fly through. Do a search. Plenty of freepers to get disgusted by.
