Anti-Paparazzi Innovation

Apparently being a paparazzo isn't completely recession proof - Introducing the newest privacy keeper: The ANTI-PAPARAZZI CLUTCH BAG.  I found this patent-pending (2010) invention from a tinylink posted by lilyroseallen on Twitter.  
This device, which fits inside a lady's clutch bag, and is in further development to become smaller - think pendent - was created by NYU Grad Adam Harvey in his Physical Computing class at NYU ITP.  Its purpose is to counter the flash photography of a paparazzi's flash with another flash thereby rendering the photo unusable, no matter the number of pictures taken.  
See it in action: 
    

My thoughts?  Bad news for the only thriving print media: gossip.  Bad new for the Speidi's of the world.  Good news for the privacy seeking Lily Allens and the sometimes Paparazzi-violent celebs like Brittany Spears, JT and Mel Gibson.  And probably long-term good news for humanity.
