"A problem remained - lint and hair."

Behold! The CarpetFlick!

Sounds like a nifty device, but one thing doesn't seem quite right: the name. CarpetFlick? I dunno. "Flick" for some reason conjures up visions of something unpleasant and biological; this is something you'd think they'd wanna play down. (I mean, look at some of the great cleaning-product names of the past: Comet, Kleenex, Lux...) Plus, I would think that the Boys in Marketing would frown on anything that starts with "F" and ends with "CK"...
