Welsh man invents device that repels teenagers.

"Stapleton studied other teenage-repellents as part of his research. Some shops, for example, use 'zit lamps,' which drive teenagers away by casting a blue light onto their spotty skin, accentuating any whiteheads and other blemishes."

Well, the teenager repellent may sell well to 7-11s and other quickie marts that have the problem of teenagers hanging around and annoying potential customers.

There used to be an Allsup's store near a high school in my town that had that problem (teenagers were shoplifiting cigarettes and being annoying at lunchtime and after school), but the owner changed it to a pet store and the problem went away.

OTOH the vibrating chicken thing is just weird.
