First of all, I can't believe the British government has so much time and money on its hands that it's conducting a survey to learn what is the "most irritating invention." (Really, if there so far down their to-do list that they're doing this, I think a fair number of Americans wouldn't mind some people coming over here to address some issues.)
Secondly, the karaoke machine? Most irritating? Rock Band begs to differ, I think. And without karoake, what else would drunk people do besides watch sports and try to hook up?
I'm sure any parent could name two dozen noise-making toys that easily beat the karaoke machine for "most annoying invention."
it was sad to read that the guy who invented Karaoke did not make his ton of money over some technical lack of patent. Karaoke is probably floating a lot of the music industries mechanisms as people purchase songs in order to memorize them to sing.

My vote for most annoying invention: the British survey.
