"The Body Snake" Is More Afraid Of You Than You Are Of It
It has been said that you can judge a people by the infomercials created in hopes of separating them from their money. So, oops, Americans, the inventors think we need these disgusting contraptions just to complete the most basic personal hygiene:
"Your bottom! Between your legs!" Yes, WE GET THE IDEA. Please just stop:
Noted, but there has to be some other way. (Thanks for the tip, Katharine!)

Score = 13

Finally, i am so tired of bending over and having to exert myself to get clean. This will have to do until we perfect disposable latex full-body suits that we can just strip off and toss at the end of the day.

Is the reason they used larger less attractive models because
A. They're pandering to fat people
B. They couldn't afford attractive models, or
C. They don't understand basic marketing skills.
Honestly, it could be any of them.
Score = 19
Maybe D. All of the above.
Score = 6
if you compare them to the potential buyer they don't seem so "larger, less attractive". it's a perspective issue
Score = 9
I was doing a pretty diligent job of reading the copy at the bottom, but then I got temporarily distracted, but then I started reading it again, and this is what I consequently saw:
"Your bottom! Between your legs! Or your money back!"
And I had to watch it again to figure out where my money back was.
Score = 11
What's with the weird mid-tempo rock organ music that plays in the background here? Are they also trying to reach the audience that enjoys Paul Schaffer's Late Show interstitial jams?
Score = 4

this isn't a hate post. it's just...logistics.
Score = 6
So.. this is marketed to the obese and the pregnant?

This commercial tells me a lot. It tells me that this product was designed for fatties, those who bedazzle their fingernails, and people who only buy things that are PROUDLY MADE IN AMERICA. Fortunately, I am all of those things.
I'm going to name mine Gwen. Get it? Because it's name is Gwen, and it's here to warsh my vagina.
