random urinals and cleansing vibrators...


Bagged skeleton in grocery, originally uploaded by impactmatt.

I just thought that today i would plug in some completely random thoughts that have gone through my head recently. Some are funny, some are stupid, some may be in poor taste... so be warned!

-at the urinals-

while I am peeing, pissing, making wee-wee in public washrooms I have noticed that there are two major brands of urinals. The frist one and more common is Crane. The logo usually involves some majestic looking crane on the side of the porcelain depository right next to 3.8liters per flush. I find it humorous that this majestic creature represents where I pee. My dad always goes on about how beautiful and graceful they are, i just think of urinating.

the other brand of urinals that make me laugh is "ZURN" I always pronounce it as "zee-urine." On top of that I through in a German accent a la Turkish from the movie Snatch. The name is genius though. Just seeing the name, you have a very clear idea of their business.

Snatch!!! thats a funny name for a movie. So many double meanings... triple meanings even!

-on TV-

it has been said before by friends and other blogs, but I can't get over these men's hair and facial hair dye commercials. In the olden days it was all about hiding your grays and you had these reformed lumberjack looking guys in bad suits happily brushing in dye to their face or head. They had some really impressive beards. Thicker than the darkest amazon jungle. Now the ads are all about "just a tough of grey." These men are much older and now are being told that keeping a touch of grey keeps you sophisticated, more so than their lumberjack predecessors. And now the men are significantly older and are now doing crazy stunts. They are waterskiing and having beach parties with girls a third of their age and they are the life of the party, because they have "a touch of grey!"

another commercial that gets me is covergirl or revlon or oil of olay or dove... one of those brands talking about vibrating cleansers. This is something that you put on your face and well its supposed to shake loose all the bad stuff on your face and somehow make your skin smooth and shiny. How bizarre! What happened to soap? With all the advances in modern skin care science with every product under the sun we need vibrating cleansers now? You know what would work and would make a lot of money? Cleansing vibrators!!! How about that ad? Wouldn't be able to show that one on primetime tv!

and the skeleton in the bag???? i have no clue. That was in a grocery store near my house two years ago and I thought it was a little bit of overkill. The guy is already dead! Are you worried about the boogeyman and have decided to suffocate him just to be on the safe side?

sorry dumb comment, but hopefully it got your attention!
