Joan Rivers' Carpet Steamer

Origins
Joan Alexandra Molinsky, known professionally as Joan Rivers, was an American comedian, actress, writer, producer, and television host. She was noted for her often controversial comedic persona—heavily self-deprecating or sharply acerbic, especially toward celebrities and politicians.

From the mid-1990s, she became known for her comedic red carpet awards show celebrity interviews. Her style of humor, which often relied on making jokes about her own life and satirizing the lives of celebrities and public figures, was sometimes criticized as insensitive.

Effects
When filled with water and plugged into a power source, the steam produced will stain any fabric it touches a deep crimson. Direct contact works faster, making its effect more pronounced on carpeting. Inhaling the steam causes a temporary shift in personality, making the affected person tactless and prone to gossipy and snide remarks.
