Apparently, two researchers at Keio University in Japan have developed a super cool food-zapper, the Castoven, that doubles as an entertainment system, streaming a random YouTube video that runs however long it takes to nuke that Lean Cuisine you plan on slurping down tonight.

Although the concept is essentially a thesis project, it does postulate an exciting/terrifying future in which media is integrated into every aspect of our lives. First we got commercials in cabs, then Pandora in our cars and now "The Pink Glove Dance" preceding our oatmeal.

Here's hoping that this new invention comes with some kind of content filter -- I'm not sure that I want to take in vomit ads before consuming my daily veggie burger. Check out the future after the jump.
