What’s StaticOff? What’s
Zapper Stopper?
StaticOff is a company that developed and is now
marketing a revolutionary new product designed to protect people, pets and
equipment from static electricity shock, or in short, to stop the static zap.
The user installs the switchplate just like any
other switchplate – two screws and you’re done.
Now when you touch the any of the touch-points, you will discharge
yourself from all static charge you may carry on your body. If you do
carry a charge (we do not carry a
charge at all time. Read our FAQ’s to
find out when we are most susceptible) you will see an orange bleep in the transparent
window. The light is actually caused
directly by the electrons that you carried on your body, on their way to
ground.

The judges decisions are final and may not be

Entraining, Informative, and thought provoking.
The video clip should educate the public about the risks and inconveniences
associated with static shocks, and that now there is a simple and inexpensive
cure to the static zap problem. You may
want to concentrate on zapping people, zapping equipment, static cling, or just
the solution to the pain of zapping yourself!
Funny,
artful, and exciting message with a viral
appeal of delivering this message is what we look for.
