Shake Weight

Greg Bernhardt

From the stupidity that brought us the cordless jump rope, we have the shake weights. I'm sure you've seen/heard the jokes being made about the suggestive motion you make while using these. You might as well pickup a brick and shake it.

One of my coworkers showed me a very funny spoof of this product. Wow, how could the original marketers not know that it would go in that direction?

But maybe they *did* know, and it's genius marketing.

Greg Bernhardt

oh i'm quite sure they did! how pathetic that it works and people buy this garbage

Oh my god.

This product doesn't need to be spoofed.

It is its own spoof.

Now I understand why it's mostly women who get those flabby arms. Clearly, men have no need for the shake weight.

Why do I have the feeling most of the sales of this item are being made to people in need of gag gifts at sororities and fraternities or for bachelorette parties?

Will all the women who want a Shake-Weight please contact me via PM? I can hook you up with a workout partner, and save you money. If you are enthusiastic about your workouts, I can possibly get your monetary out-lay reduced to almost nothing.

It gets better.

And, it seems the men can only last 30 seconds before getting worn out.

There's no end to the jokes there!

Turbo, have you checked with your wife before seeking workout partners?

turbo

At 30 seconds per, it seems a bit silly to recruit workout workout partners. I'm pretty sure that I could troll the local local VFW and Elks halls and get enough 70-80 year old customers to keep the "shake weight" ladies busy for a long, long time.

Yeah, well, look how young they are!

I sent a link for this to the women in the family, and suggested that the respective men in the family would like them to get this for Christmas.

GeorginaS

Please report back and let us know how that goes for you, Ivan.

Ivan Seeking

My cousin loved it! Haven't heard from the rest yet, but I have no doubt that my one sister will laugh herself to tears.

But it has a TRIPLE money-back guarantee. LOL, what the heck does that mean?

DaveC426913

I did exactly the same thing - except in my blog!

Ivan Seeking

See, I knew I liked the way you think.

I have tried to come up with a response after viewing this thread several times...I still can't.
