ABSTRACT:
A responsive novelty punching device for use in amusement and the relief of frustration or aggression of computer users, wherein the responsive novelty punching device contains stored audio responses and means for broadcasting the audio responses when the user strikes the responsive novelty punching device. Audio responses will cycle through a variety of languages for amusement and educational purposes, and for the production efficiencies in the case of international distribution and sales. The responsive novelty punching device also contains connectivity means for communicating data to or from a computer, and affixing means for attaching the responsive novelty punching device to a horizontal surface such as a desk. The responsive novelty punching device can be formed in any of a variety of computer-like shapes for use as a “scapegoat” for computer user frustration and will be encased in a resilent, energy-absorbing material to withstand many blows without losing its shape.
