Aloha, Hawaii Chair!

I’m not sure how many of you have already seen this wacky infomercial, but this is the first time I’ve checked it out after hearing about it on a forum a couple months ago. I honestly thought there couldn’t be a worse infomercial than Ron Popeil’s Ronco GHL Hair-in-a-Can. It seems I was horibbly mistaken. The Hawaii Chair has taken the throne for Most Stupid Product Seen in an Informercial. For only $293.96 you can have your hips gyrating and ‘lose weight’ while in the comfort of your own home, or while working at the office (I can only imagine the stares from across the cubicle).

In just 20 minutes a day, you can hula yourself to a healthier-looking you!

Here’s a clip from the informercial (lol@the lame jingle!):

What cracked me up was talk show host Ellen Degeneres testing out the contraption on her show:

Wow… the Hawaii Chair seems like it could really take the work out of my workday! Seriously… who thinks these things up?!

Mother Nature is playing tricks with us…

Just when Torontonians think Spring is going to poke it’s head around the corner, we are hit with another snow storm.  The latest weather forecasts predict about 20 centimeters by Sunday.  Check out this report by CityNews.

This weather really sucks monkey balls! I bought some nice shoes a couple weeks ago, but I can’t wear them now because I’m either walking in 2 feet of snow, or stepping in shin-deep puddles of water!  It snows, it melts… snows some more, then melts!  Arrrgghhh!  Nature is being tricksey!

It’s a damn good thing I have no weekend plans.  Thank goodness I don’t have to shovel!
