Destroy all flying alarm clocks

What could be more annoying than a remote-controlled mosquito helicopter? A flying alarm clock that buzzes like one, as seen on Newlaunches. Think about it: Not only would you have a foreign object bouncing off your bedroom walls and ceiling, but it would be blaring its irritating alarm the whole time.

If this were in our house, it would only go off once. After that, it would be thrown out the window--open or not. So if you absolutely must have a flying alarm clock, we recommend this one instead. As Shiny Shiny points out, it's tethered to the ceiling and, more important, it isn't even a real clock (and therefore has no real alarm). Three advantages right off the bat.

This might be worse than the alarm clock

my roommate had back in college. It wasn't possible to figure out how to turn off at 6 am on a saturday when he was gone. ultimately it was unplugged and had battery taken out to shut it up. but if that didn't work it would have been destroyed.
