Inflatable Boom Box Causes Seizures



Package design is one of the most important features of a products marketing program. The Living Solutions Inflatable Boom Box is a perfect example of cutting edge package design. Obviously they wanted to let their potential customers know that if you purchased and used their product you would dance like a Krunker on speed. (Click the image for a larger detail view) The two young ladies convulsing on the box drives home what a great product the Inflatable Boom Box really is. My regular boom box just plays music. This thing will make your hair stand on end like you were riding the lightning for murder. Living Solutions Inflatable Boom Box will bombard you with gamma rays that will compel you to tear yourself apart limb from limb to your favorite Death Cab for Cutie song or your money back. I just wish I knew a little something about design and layout so I could create masterpieces like this.

How did this get past R&D???

I was at the grocery store this afternoon and found a freezer endcap loaded with a product unfortunately named "Steamers." Now I understand that potty humor is for children but what self respecting human wouldn't think of the childhood term before they thought of vegetables steamed to perfection? Seriously, who was the high level marketing genius that thought this was a good idea. Probably the same person who came up with other great products such as Poopcicles, Captain Leonard's Unusual Bile Consume, and Choad's Crispy Chips. All I know for sure, is when I get home I want a Green Giant Steamer on my plate.

Rest in Peace...Mom

My girlfriend's kid came home today with a picture for his mom. I think he's been reading too much Poe. I can't figure out why on Earth he decided to make such a morose picture. I asked him how he settled on the final design. "I just thought of graves and moms and then put them together." How obvious! At least he put a nice red rose under "mom." Other elements of the carefully crafted work are the night sky represented by chaotic scribbling with a black marker. I found it quite amusing that the midnight black marker is scented with the flavor of fresh baked sugar cookies; just like mom used to make.

Why Blog?

I guess since everyone else is doing it I should too. I can't exactly say what I'll put here but I am sure it will probably suck just as much if not more than most of the p.o.s. blogs out here on "the internets." Worst case scenerio I'll just delete this badboy and do something else that everyone has already done. Maybe I'll take up scrapbooking. Why not?
