Every time I’m nuking a hotdog in a microwave I find myself thinking, “Damn I wish I could watch a YouTube video right about now.” These are dark times, but I have seen the light! Finally someone has answers my prayers with the new CastOven.

This microwave has a 10.4 inch LCD display that plays YouTube clips that fit your cooking time. The developers explained their inspiration, “Watching movies, playing games, and browsing Web pages are fun, but all of them require a certain amount of time of us to spare.” Yeah, I still don’t get it either.

There’s no denying that the concept machine looks really cool. There’s also no denying that this is by far the dumbest idea. I was able to solve my YouTube-less microwave cooking time with my wireless enable laptop. If only they came out with LCD display footwear so I don’t miss a PhillyD video while tying my shoes. Now that’s a good idea.
