How many times have you been to a comedy club and laughed your a$$ off? Well imagine if you had to pay for each time that you giggled. That is exactly what is happening in Barcelona. According to
BBC, Teatreneu club put tablets on the back of each seat that uses facial-recognition technology to track how many times you laughed during the comedians’ standup. So how much will it cost you? It costs you $.38 per chuckle with a maximum bill of $30.41.
I don’t know why I am so worried about this concept because I don’t remember the last time I laughed so much at the comedy club that I would have to pay the max. But something about it terrifies me. But then again I am so cheap, I think I would bite my lip just so I didn’t have to pay anything for the show.
What do you think of the idea of paying per laugh? What’s next? Paying for each time you dance at a concert or sing along with the band? Paying per clap and laugh at a show or movie? Paying each time you cheer at a sporting event? Wait, considering how much all of that is costing us these days, this might be a good idea…
