No Jones'n about it

What can we say about Peter Jones?

I'd have to say he is the more condescending judge on the show. I think he seems to feel far more superior than everyone. He doesn't need to say no to almost everything, and laugh at them in the process. He proved to be a huge idiot tonight by saying no to the Bike Hook. Yeah, he probably has no need for that just because maybe he has some huge garage where he can store a lot of things, but for the average American who can't really ride a bike in the winter, this makes great sense to store your bike away like that. This is supposed to be AMERICAN inventor, yet he's british...Bad Idea...Oh, and i guess if you come in with a sad enough story, your poor little kids, and make them look real sad, he'll give you your money back that you spent on the inventtion.

Peter Jones...You get a No from me.

Seriously, lighten up. If you have any common sense you know that half the inventions that get through judging are crap anyways. And stating "He proved to be a huge idiot tonight by saying no to the Bike Hook" is laughable. Just because he said no he's an idiot. I thought the bike claw was pretty stupid to and very overinvented. I just didn't get it. You got this huge contraption that can hang a bike up, WOW. What's wrong with just storing the bike in the garage or the basement. I don't think Peter is mean at all. He's a very honest judge who's entitled to his opinion. So what if he laughs. I laugh right along with him because most of those inventions are pathetic and useless.

"This is supposed to be AMERICAN inventor, yet he's british...Bad Idea...", wow, you say that like he's from another damn planet. It doesn't take an American or a genius for that matter to determine whether an invention will work or not. Just stop your b!tching and let the man do his job which is to JUDGE.

I agree with the above poster. So what if he's British? Are you forgetting the fact that America's culture is descended (Since the U.S. was at one time, a British colony) and pretty much identical to the U.K.s? There may be some small differences here and there with sports and the like, but honestly, all the countries in the Anglo-sphere (Meaning the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and South Africa) are pretty much the same as far as culture and language go.

From how awful and laughable a lot of the "inventions" are he has to be doing it for the money. The main reason I would be doing it if I was him would be for the money (the only other reason would be to laugh at people)
