It's conceivable that the basic concept behind the self-tipping hat could still give rise to some modern day variations. One I've already observed is the large belt buckle/message board equipped with bright LED bulbs programmed to display a revolving message of the wearer's creation, conceivably even one that is not obscene, although the latter has yet to be demonstrated. Likewise, with everybody's hands these days typically occupied with cell phones, iPods, and what have you, there may be growing demand for a devise that would be called, for want of a better name, "the self-flipping bird." Human ingenuity at work. Signs of the times.
