Why George, Why?

This is just a random thought I had while cooking dinner tonight. Why is it that the George Foreman Grill has no on/off switch? Why is it that I must feel like I am going to be electrocuted every time I want to cook up some vegetables (or anything else, but that is just what I cook most of the time)? Is there any good reason behind me having to see that spark as I "pull the plug" on the Foreman (and yes I do plug it into one of the surge protected outlets, in case you were thinking that is my problem)? Does anyone else have this problem?

Let's look at what all they have decided was important enough to add to the Grill since it's first debut:
1. Removable plates for easy cleaning.
2. Small-Medium-Large sizes.
3. Easy lock snap handles.
4. Temperature indicator light.
5. Outdoor grills with stands.
6. Floating hinges.
7. Bread warming compartments.
8. Propane running grills.
9. Multi-colored grills.
10. Different shaped grills.

To me, it seems like the order of events that would transpire when creating a new appliance would be like this. First, come up with the basic design of the appliance. Second, figure out where the on/off switch will be (aren't they pretty standard on appliances?). But instead, they skipped from step two all the way to what should be step 450: Bread warming compartments.

Ok, so as I investigated this I realized that there is one grill that does in fact have an on/off switch. But it is just the one (if you are interested which one it is the medium-sized, G Broil EZ Clean). Most of the grills have more features than that one too, but yet, they are still lacking the on/off switch. I just don't get it.

Please George, (as if he is the one actually designing these...most less, reading this) make an on/off switch standard. I don't want to fear for my life anymore just because I want to grill up some veggies! Just give me that one feature standard...
