I am a fan of infomercials. Who doesn't want to watch obnoxious people yell at you and bad actors being appalled by their clearly inferior products that ruin their days? One of my personal favorites is the Magic Bullet, where actors terrificly over-play their roles as the cynical, grumpy, chain-smoking house guests of the perky, well dressed and obnoxiously awake hosts, who show them how the Magic Bullet can take care of all you chopping and mixing needs in one-two-three seconds! Today, however, I was intrigued by the Contour Abs infomercial. For those of you who have tried EVERYTHING in hopes of getting those "sexy flat abs" we all want, there's a new solution! You don't even have to do that pesky thing called exercize. I mean, really, who wants to do that anyway? All you have to do is put on this belt, turn it on, and presto! you send an electric pulsing current through your abdominal muscles for the best abs of your life! Okay, I know better, but look at those happy people and their wonderful results! There's even a money back guaruntee! Oh. My. God. It's perfect!
I eventually dragged myself away and recovered my rational thoughts that reminded me that I don't really want to electrically shock my way to a better body...but still...maybe...
No! I have resisted purchasing my very own Contour Abs, though. You haven't won my soul yet, you vile capitalist swine!

i'm with you on this. who doesn't want to sit around watching tv or doing homework while they're abs are getting a work out?! but sadly i think the snuggle or the really intense towel that can get like 2 gallons would be a better purchase, even though getting electric shocks does sound quite nice
ReplyDeleteIf you ever run across the one about fixing leather, let me know! I can't find it and need to repair a jacket that my doggy ripped!
