So, I've spent, roughly, the last 7 hours on the computer. I'm a little computer brain dead and my wrists are threatening carpal tunnel. So I'm not in the mood to write about my 4th of July right now. But don't worry, I will fill you in on the splendid details at a later date.
Right now my thoughts are on the commercial I saw a few days ago as I was folding laundry. (Yes, I still watch T.V. on the rare occasion. One of those times is when I'm folding laundry and need some NOISE.) I saw a commercial for, and I quote, "New! Tampax Cardboard!"
Say whaaa?
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel the need to cringe?
CARDBOARD?!! Now I do understand that cardboard goes into the making of these items, but it's not a real selling point, is it?
I can picture the men in the board room right now:
Board Room Guy President: "We need a new product in our line of tampons. Something new. Something women will like."
Smart Board Room Guy: "Well, I think women really like a product that absorbs well."
Smarter Board Room Guy: "Hey, I've got it! Cardboard's pretty absorbant. Why, when I'm working on my car out in the garage and I need something to keep my oil from spilling on the cement, I use a big old piece of cardboard. It really does the trick!"
Reeeaally Smart Board Room Employee: "Say, Herb, you've got a point there. Cardboard IS really absorbant!"
Herb: "Yeah! And the best part is, we're already using it in our tampons! But I don't know if women really KNOW that. We need to come up with a new product that really shows the cardboard off."
(High fives all around and big raises coming in the near future...)

And here I was purchasing twine Tampax this whole time! Who knew that they'd wise up and make em out of cardboard. Genius I tell you, genius! THIS is the kind of innovative thinking that brings true progress to civilizations! Big raises all around, indeed.
It takes a truly business oriented innovative prodigy like Mike to truly appreciate the genius of the cardboard creation and marketing campaign.
As for Spammer Rodrigo, he's just looking for free advertising. I say, delete him, if you can do that. I'm not blogger savy. Savy?
I only speak spanish, and this looks like portugese, but here's my translation.
Hey, I found your blog through google it's very interesting and I liked this post. When you come by my blog, and above "personolized T-shirts", it shows you step by step how to create a good personolized T-shirt. If you'd like to link to my blog I'd appreciate it, I tied corn and success (or maybe it's a wish of much success...or maybe it says "bye friend"). Silly Rodrigo. Friends don't spam on Friend's blogs.
I'm with Zack. Friends block creepy people like Rodrigo. Savy?
I'm doggin it Rodrigo! I'm Doggin it!
No shirt for you! Next!
