I just watched 2 back to back commercials offering 2 of the dumbest products I've seen in a while. The first one is a physical game, in the genre of Twister, but this one involves a plastic sheet you lay on the floor, where players are blindfolded, and they walk along the plastic 'course', while trying to avoid piles of fake poop!

The very next commercial was for a game called "Chow Crown", which includes a cheap, gaudy looking 'crown', with a lazy Susan of sorts attached to it, that has hooks that hang down all around your head. The 'lazy Susan hooks' can be spun around. You attach different food items(or whatever else your warped mind can dream up), and each player tries to eat all the food(or whatever) thats attached to the hooks, without using your hands, before the music stops.

These 2 products are almost as dumb as the shredded, powdered fiberglass insulation that was sold in little packets as "itching powder" in the 70s. List the dumbest products you've heard of....
 
Just curious. What show were you watching?

Twitter sounded like a good idea at first...

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

Limitless are the things folks find entertaining.


My loathings are simple. stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music. My pleasures are the most intense known to man: writing and butterfly hunting.

The first one was a training simulator for walking in San Francisco.

I wasn't even paying attn, but it was on the Cartoon network.I only watch high-brow programming like that found there. . Lol. Actually it was there because I was watching adult swim last night, but never changed it this morning, despite the overrated and overplayed "Teen Titans" and Amazing World of Gumball. That's pretty much all they play all day long, adnauseum, for at least 2-3 years now. I've been online, with the tv volume off.

Maybe online, but that would be impossible on tv, with some exceptions like the Spike network, or TV Land network mid day, during the 'Gunsmoke' block. You can pretty accurately nail down the demographic there(as well as on the Lifetime network's daytime demographic of people watching the unending marathon of made for tv 'fatal attraction' dramas)!

I don't know anything about those networks, and I don't even know what types of programming they air! Lol

I forgot all about that 'hair in a can' product. That was hilarious! Here's a great use for it though... Lets say you don't have ANY hair loss issues, BUT, you are going to see the Slayer concert that you've looked forward to all your life. However, there's a big problem... Unlike when you were 19, you now have very short hair, and you realize how important it is to look like a true Slayer fan at the show. Sure, you can easily get the other stuff, like a jean jacket with skull patches, biker boots, a chain wallet and spiked wristbands. But long hair is the most important factor here. Fortunately, with 'spray hair', all you have to do is to liberally spray the entire contents of the can onto your neck, your ears, and the side of your head. Also spray some about 4-8 inches over the collar of your jean jacket, and down the back of it.

Now you've achieved a genuine looking thrash metal hairstyle, and no one will be any the wiser! Plus, you can just wash it off your neck with soap and steel wool later that night when you get home!
