Bald Man TV - American Inventor

by Bald Man on March 28th, 2006

Looks like there might be more “Must See” Bald TV. This Entrepreneur.com article highlights Jodi and her dispoable headliner.

And then there were the last two approved products. Darla had invented a doll (and an accompanying multimedia blitz of ideas) that speaks English, Spanish and Swahili. And Jodi, who suffers from a form of alopecia that renders her completely hairless, had created a disposable headliner for wigs that helps with moisture problems. She barely squeaked through with only two “yes” votes at first (Jones eventually changed his mind), but she finally got approval by playing up the “helping breast cancer victims” angle. While I think that’s a noble cause, for this show, I would’ve liked to have seen her, and the judges, focus on the more wide-ranging possibilities of the invention–that anyone with no hair could use this for wigs, toupees, helmets and hats. It has a lot of potential, and I was glad Jodi made it through.

I didn’t see the episode. I saw part of the first with a bunch of toilet inventions, and that kind of put me off. Now that the audition process is over - and there is a Official Baldiness.com Aspiring Inventor - I’ll have to give it another shot.

Here’s a link to the Official Amiercan Inventor Site at ABC.com - Unfortunately, it’s lame. I couldn’t even find a photo. Instead here’s a screen capture from the makezine.com episode recap.
