UPDATE 6PM 8/24: Further comments, complaints and insults should be sent through here. Chris has apologized, and I will not standby and let everyone continue to bash him or the citizens of the United Kingdom (you know who you are!). If you don’t like SlashGear take your reading elsewhere. -Vincent Nguyen
I’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to anybody offended by the previous version of this post. I meant no slight against the New York Police Department whom I know do an excellent job of keeping a great city safe.
Based as I am in the UK, the incidents some believe are referenced in the article were unknown to me. I can honestly say that any connection was entirely inadvertent. Nonetheless, I can well understand that offence has been taken, and for that I sincerely apologise.
I would also like to thank those readers who contacted SlashGear, either through commenting or via email, to bring this matter to my attention and suggest much-needed improvements. Your input is, as always, greatly valued.
For the heavy sleepers among us here is the clock that will be your salvation. No longer late for work, no more angst with your wife or husband when you sleep through your anniversary dinner. The glorious combination of ear-piercing siren and eyelid melting strobe light are sure to have you leaping from bed (and searching for the “off” button).
There’s no radio option for those days you’d rather be roused by some soothing classical station, but for a smudge over 23 bucks what can you expect.

No way - this would make for a bad alarm clock. When was the last time you had a warm and fuzzy feelings hearing the police siren?
your attack on the great men and women of the NYPD is uncalled for!
It always give me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing the NYPD is looking out for me, but than I have never woken up in a jail cell.
Doesn’t say much for you, bragging about being a criminal. You must really love bubba.
You are a real ignorant *** attacking NYPD cops in order to sell your cheesy Chinese made clock.
How about these sentences offending members of the NYPD:
being internally violated with nightsticks
Arm twelve inches inside you for an impromptu cavity search. So imagine my masochistic glee at seeing this stylish alarm clock, that not only wakes you with an ear-piercing siren but a powerful flashing light too.
All that’s missing is a six-foot-something cop with a handlebar moustache gripping a jumbo size drum of industrial lubricant, but for a smudge over 23 bucks what can you expect.
This was a cheap shot I agree…When I saw this posted I was disgusted….now I would never but ANYTHING from this site..
You are a true dumbass.
Honorable men have fought and died for the NYPD. My father was one of them. As a second generation NYPD Officer I would to have this discussion brought to a public forum. If you want his address its gate of Heaven Cemetary Lot 24 row 15 headstone 6. I would love you to read your ridiculous, tasteless ad to him. If you have grown the genetalia to this we can discuss it further in person at your convience. Bring some friends.
Honorable men have becomed maimed, crippled, wheelchair bound for life or dead. I hope the writer was good at whatever job he/she had before this one. After the flood of hate mail/complaints you deservedly will recieve, your boss should throw you out on your ***.
Not to bright of a way to advertise.Now I would neve buy a thing from this company.
You brag about the fact that you’ve been in jail then put down Men and Women who risk their lives to keep your family safe? You must have a great life.
By the way bright boy, the NYPD doesn’t use “blue” lights at all. What an idiot.
You are a real jerk, advertising this product with all the references to being sodomized by the Police. ( not only once but, 3 references in one paragraph ) You must have a real anal fixation. Good luck selling that piece of crap, *** boy !
Very funny, but I bet the next time you find yourself surrounded by a bunch of punks late one night on a subway platform the first thing you’ll do is look for a cop. People like you are so typical. You deserve what you get.
I will never purchase anything from your company after this.
