Random header image... Refresh for more!

an extra optical inch

I never click on ads. Ever. But tonight I saw one that so intrigued me that I had to click it. It said “Now you can shave everywhere with the Philips Bodygroom” and the only image in the ad was a razor next to two shiny ornaments. I get the joke, I have to click.

It takes me to shaveeverywhere.com; and OHMIGOD, I laughed for fifteen minutes straight. I strongly encourage checking it out. Especially the features “Music Video” and “optical inch.”

My favorite line?

“My love life was slow like an antiquated dial-up modem
and now it’s gone broadband with my silky shaven *bleep*”

Way to go, Norelco!

LOL! Now there’s a piece of *BEEP* viral marketing that folks can really get behind… er… oh, shush!

I wish television commercials were this damned fun/funny! I’m soooo sick of the “HEAD ON! HEAD ON! HEAD ON FOR HEADACHE…” crap. I wish the announcer would get hit head on by an approaching train.

i can’t believe there aren’t more comments on this post!!! if you haven’t gone yet, i INSIST you go!!! it’s a very “high-class” ad about shaving your privates, guys! without ever mentioning your actual privates! what’s funnier than that? (other than gaining an extra optical inch…)

The thought of slicing blades near their sensitive equipment might be a little daunting for SOME guys to overcome… Justin’s all wussed out just thinking about the hard core road cyclists (male) who shave their ARMS and LEGS (joke: “it lowers the wind resistance” — only if you’re Lance Armstrong; reality: “it’s easier to clean up the road rash you’ll get when you wipe out and get gravel embedded in your skin six layers deep.)
