Textee Will Help You Write Your Cellphone Novel

Having trouble writing your cellphone novel? Is every sentence littered with typos from your sticky typing thumbs? Textee might help!

The Textee company has designed rubber typing aids to help people use their thumbs more effectively on smartphones. What do you think? The ad has generated headlines around the Internet as people debate the necessity of the Textee and quality of the video.

Here’s Gawker’s take on the video: “Do you like to text, but get slapped by women because you hit the wrong keys and write things you don’t mean? Then buy Textees, a stupid rubber thing that you put on your thumb! Watch the cringe-worthy infomercial inside.”
