Q: What's the worst thing ever?
A: Getting up in the morning.
Q: And what's the worst thing about getting up in the morning?
A: Being woken up by a horrible alarm clock.
Q: Right! Why?
A: Because it's startling, unsettling, and inadvertantly open a small window to a deep chasm of hate inside of me.
Q: Really?
A: Yes. And because of the dream-like state into which the alarm's intruding, all that hatred and anger's allowed to flow out freely, unhindered by the filters society so commonly demands we impose upon them.
Q: I see. And how do you get rid of all that negative frustration in the morning?
A: By hitting the snooze button as hard as I can, of course.
Q: Bingo! And my idea is based on just that: there's all that negative energy being "snoozed" out every day, right?
A: Sure.
Q: And that's a healthy thing, right?
A: Sure. It's good to get that stuff outta your system.
Q: Well, what if we could make the whole process even more positive?
A: What do you mean?
Q: I'm talking about taking Hate-Worthy ideas.
A: Like Nazis and Klansmen.
Q: And Cathy, exactly! And making specific alarm clocks themed around them.
A: Ah, so like, a Hitler alarm clock.
Q: And Allergy alarm clocks, and Cancer alarm clocks, and Abortion/Anti-Abortion alarm clocks.
A: That you thwap the shit out of when you wake up in the morning!
Q: Exactly.
A: Not only are you healthily releasing your hatred, you're also focusing it towards a worthy target.
Q: And a minus plus a minus?
A: Makes a minus!
Q: Oh, I meant times.
A: Makes a positive!
Q: Right! Hate-Worthy-Themed Alarm Clocks.
A: Good idea.
Q: Thanks.
A: If you hate alarm clocks so much, why don't you make an alarm clock alarm clock?
Q: I ASK QUESTIONS.

Ack. This weird dude is holding a related.
The alarm clocks from here:

are pretty amazing. They are expensive, but I honestly believe the ten-minute chime progression is the best way to wake up in the morning. It's like your eyes just open and you've been awake all day. It's freaky, but not freak-you-out freaky.

Those are pretty cool. I think part of me kinda enjoys waking up violently, though.
This, on the other hand, would be sublime.
