Whoa, I’m out of North America for 5 months and they come out with vibrating mascara?! I’m missing out on the wonders of the modern world! I’m wondering when the law suits will start…

I don’t watch much Turkish TV but when I do catch it, I have to say, commercials over here are EXACTLY THE SAME. It’s always some product or another with an ad geared toward making every facet of domesticity look like a sparkling sunrise. “This dish soap makes rainbows come out of my ass!”

Liars.

LMAO…ok this was great. I too have wondered about some of this bullshit advertising. I have yet to have my swifter work like that. I still have to get on my friggin hands and knees to get the floor really clean..so that gets a big fat fail.
As for that vibrating brush..there are just way too many “dir-ty” things that are gonna happen with that. I for one would blind myself with it so there is no way I’ll pay the extra price to poke my own eye out.

Thanks Emerald, that was an amazing laugh I just had there.

But I’m compelled to make a few corrections even as I applaud your righteous and virtuous anti-consumerism stance.

Everybody knows that amethyst smells PURPLE. Duh.

The Palm Pre Lady is actress Tamara Hope. They actually soaked her whole upper half in bleach and then spray painted her white. That commercial creeps me out too. But I want an iPhone anyway.

Maybe the Maybelline Pulse Perfection is intended for pubes? Ever think of that? Duh. Again.

The vibrating mascara trips my bullshit meter the hardest. What the crap?

I’m still trying to figure out how I missed that memo, AND I have a Polish aunt and cousins! Maybe they were keeping them a secret because they wanted those perogies all to themselves, I know I would.

Other than that, in TX there are a lot German/Czech so we’re more into kolaches and wurst. Kolaches are sorta the same idea, that is fattiness stuffed with fattiness. Mmm…

I had to google perogies, I had never heard of them! Dumplings filled with potatoes and cheese!? Uh, where do I sign up? Yum.

Dooooood! How have you not heard of perogies? Oh man…I seriously need to find some, stat! They come in all kinds of flavours too! Talea still rants about these blueberry ones, I need to get me some of those too. But the potato and cheese ones are still my fave. Pan fried with sour cream and onions? *incoherent drooling sounds* Mmmmmm. I highly recommend them.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! oh gaw this is friggin hilarous! You have now gave me new stuff to sit around and ponder.

ohh ohhh did you see the new toy Vince is selling…I can’t wait to see how many people buy that thing..get it stuck in their sink and call the plumber only to find out that he too has seen the infomercial and has added another $50 onto his fee just because somebody shoved that thing piece of metal into their sink pipe. Cuz I am looking at it and saying..you know what would happen if I tried that… I would accidently let go of the thing..it would slide down into the pipe and I’d be screwed. BUT I was impressed with the FREE (probably costs maybe a nickel to make plastic hook with that glue on the side that you can stick to your cabinet so this thing is always handy)…Now I am thinking they are throwing that in ..because you will need a place to store it after you find out it’s not as amazing as he makes it seem. Didn’t show the 100 outtakes of plumbers taking apart the sink now did we? All this for 3 low monthly payments of $19.95 BUT WAIT THERE IS ALWAYS MORE…if you call in the next 5 minutes (which turns into a whole year)..we’ll throw in 1 for free. You know why because it’s going to be cheaper for you to use the free one to get the one you paid for out of your sink than calling the fucking plumber! And now I think I am going to go blog about this! Thank you for this enlightening post!

No, I haven’t seen it yet! I’ll have to keep watching! But I’ll make sure to keep my credit card info locked up in a box with a combination I can’t possibly remember that late at night, otherwise I could get myself in trouble!
