Is it a sleeping bag or a game station?
We've long thought that laziness was a much understood trait. Contrary to popular belief, for example, one can be quite productive while lounging around in one's PJs. To wit: The Yamada Action Lounge SR4 is a multimedia mat that allows you to spend "hours and hours of gaming, movie and music entertainment" in supine comfort, with stereo speakers and subwoofers built into the headrest.
And lest you think the Action Lounge encourages anti-social behavior, be aware that up to eight mats can be connected to the audio output. We think of it as sort of a cross between the Roccaforte game desk and the La-Z-Boy Oasis.

Otherwise, I think it's a waste of well spent money; but then the inventor of this will most likely make a nice profit from people who think they really need this or the elites who want to prove a point...they can buy anything to make themselves seem better than the commoners.
