Laser Scissors Because everything is better and cooler if it has a frickin' laser on it (but they should have gotten Turbo into the name too).

I need someone to explain to me how that will allow you to cut a straight(er) line.

'Cause, well, it's a laser, dude, and, well, everyone knows lasers go straight, so, well, if you follow it, ya' know, the cut will be straight, 'cause you'll be following the laser, and everyone knows lasers go straight.

Useless. It doesn't guarantee the cut will be square. Recommendation: more lasers.

I've got a laser on my circular saw and its all but useless even though it totally looks cool.

What it needs is electric shock feedback if you deviate from the planned cut (as noted by the laser), nothing like pain to make someone cut straight!

They have pool cues with fickin' lasers on them.

I'm partial to the laser scalpel (embedded quicktime) myself.

Chess with frrrrickin' lasers!

That won't help you cut straight at all, when you move the scissors, you'll move the laser as well. Duh.
