Stupid things featured on TV that never seem to work.

Post by Arbitern1 »

I get an early Christmas present from my grandmother. I am ecstatic as she normally gets me decent gifts. I open it up to find....A SHAKE WEIGHT! I really dislike these things I get so sick of all the gimmicky products marketed on TV. The only thing that i have found that worked well would be Oxyclean. Anyone else ever get something like this for a gift?

Personally I've always wanted one of those Blendtec Blenders but I don't know if you count amusing youtube videos as TV ads.

I think South Park took the piss out of the Shake Weight enough for everyone.

Shake weights are awesome if you don't actually try to use them to build up muscle. Basically just to play around with. :lol:
