Remotely controlled flies

The fact that science has produced some genetically-engineered fruit flies that respond to a remote control - they'll jump, beat their wings and fly on command - will no doubt one day save an awful lot of money on fly spray, particularly if we can produce remote-controls for mosquitoes.

It occurred to us, however, that television can do much the same thing with humans. Flash a few commercials at them, and they'll open their wallets.
