DALLAS, TX – A new product is about to hit the shelves that aims to not only clear confusion and suspicion but also serve a much needed service to men across the country. The device, the HomoDivider, will act as a beverage and snack holder while sitting between two men in public creating what the developers call a “barrier to protect the image of straight men everywhere.”

“Knowing that two guys can’t sit next to each other in public without the whole world thinking they are gay for each other, we came up with the HomoDevider,” said lead designer Teddy Crawford. “Seriously, everyone knows that only gay guys sit next to each other when there are open seats on either side. Everyone knows that. When was the last time you saw two straight guys sitting next to each other? You haven’t, have you?”

Crawford and his business partner, Glen Wainwright, came up with the HomoDevider idea sitting in an airport waiting for a flight.

“Teddy and I were sitting there next to each other and everyone that walked by looked at us like we had our tongues in each others mouth,” said Wainwright. “So immediately we moved to make sure there was a buffer seat between us. A little later I was looking around me and I saw all the crap I had in front of me and started thinking ‘what if there was something that could hold all my drinks and snacks so they weren’t all over the place.”

While the initial idea for the product came to Wainwright, he needed the help of his best friend to bring the project to life.

“Man, when the final idea came to me and I looked at Teddy and he must have known exactly what I was thinking,” Wainwright said. “I can always tell when we are on the same page because he gets this look in his eye, a really beautiful look in those kind eyes of his that just make a guy melt. It’s this look that makes you just… you just know he is all yours. You know what I mean? I’m just glad he’s not gay ‘cus that would suck.”

The HomoDevider will consist of a main body with two protruding arms. Each arm can hold up to three drinks and the lap area of the HomoDevider can hold two different snacks.

“The beauty of the HomoDevider is that it automatically inflates,” said Crawford. “Deflated, the thing is no bigger than a wallet but you press the little button on the side and blamo! You got yourself a nice separation between you and your guy friend. A separation that automatically says ‘hey, these two guys are all about the pussy.’ And it will hold your drinks while you are watching a movie, taking in a game or watching a play or something.”

Initially, the HomoDevider will only come in a black and red flame design but plans for more human looking HomoDividers are currently in the works. “Hot Chick” and “Kid” designs are two leading contenders for the next product release.

“We’ve got some things to work out still but so far the ‘Hot Chick’ model really does look like a hot chick,” Crawford said. “If it were a real chick, I would totally bang it. Hell I might even bang it knowing that it’s not a real chick. And the kid one? Chicks totally dig guys with kids so that was an automatic design approval. And, you know, it shows that you’re a caring guy, taking a kid to a movie – or a ball game. Chicks dig that in a guy. You know what chicks don’t dig? Guys with their penis in another guy.”

The HomoDevider will be sold at Wal-Mart, Checker Autoparts, and Sports Authority with a suggested retail price of $39.99.
