Asahi Electric Corp introduces a Tv remote with a speaker

In a world where TV is the most dominant form of entertainment, we know the value of a remote control and there is a sea of them out there. Asahi Electric Corp has launched a TV remote that's slightly different from the average ones. This one has a speaker. The speaker has a 30mm-radius and there's a receiver unit for wireless connection. Seems like a completely pointless and useless device to me.
