PostHeaderIcon WTF Wednesdays #1: Really, Olay?

Welcome to the first installment of my new weekly blog feature, WTF Wednesdays. Today we’re going to start with a guessing game.

So, can you guess what this is a picture of?

If you guessed that it’s a close-up image of a Pocket Rocket Personal Vibrator….

… you’re wrong! The picture is actually a new cosmetics product from Olay. It’s supposed to smooth out eye wrinkles. Don’t believe me?

Here’s the new Olay product:

Really, Olay? Really? I don’t care what they’re calling it, I’m writing it off as the first time I’ve seen a vibrator commercial on basic cable.

Dear Carnival Cruises:

You might want to find a picture for the front page of your website that looks a little bit less like screencap from an internet porn video.

Carnival Cumshot?

PostHeaderIcon The world is like, flat, right?

This is the first post of my new feature, Quickie PSA. Basically, I’ll find something funny, alarming, or even vaguely interesting on the internet and share it with you. For my very first Quickie PSA, I bring you Exibit A: The Barbie Globe

Mattel (r) Talking Barbie Globe

Mattel (r) Talking Barbie Globe

“Embark upon a hip trip as you travel the world with Barbie using this 3-D interactive spinning globe. Just press one of the seven continents, then select one of five activities for fascinating facts specific to that region. Learning categories include: Animals, People & Customs; Geography; Food; and Language. The continent that you select will be lit with a red LED so you know where you are traveling. Barbie narrates your trip with over 20 minutes of audio entertainment and the large LCD screen”

Seriously, I kind of would have expected that a Barbie Globe would be missing a few continents, or something. And Barbie narrates the tour around the world? What could she possibly have to say? Has Barbie ever even left southern California?
