George Bergeron wears an ear radio that sends out signals to everyone that wears one. When one hears the noise sent out, their thoughts get mixed up, making them unable to think in long periods of time and "take unfair advantage of their brains". The type of handicap George wears is put on everybody with above average intelligence.
