If You Have More than Two Remotes, You're Hired

The Future Shop, a Canadian big-box electronics/computer/appliance store has business card-shaped ads on their check-out counters that say

If you have more than two remotes, you're hired.

Does that mean I qualify to be a senior manager? I have lost count, but I think we have as many as 25 remotes in our home. We have added at least two more to this list.

In consumer theory, we'd say that I am willing/eager to trade off some dollars worth of other stuff for having more remotes conveniently placed around the house.
