A Funny That I Came Across..

So today, I was browsing through some websites looking for shelves and things for the girls' room when I looked at this mirror from IKEA. Cute mirror, but then I really got a chuckle when I looked at the product information. Check out the "Key Features" part.

Is that not hilarious! My first thought was: Well, crap if that's all it takes to write product descriptions for IKEA, sign me up! I could think of something like that! Can you just imagine writing something for, oh say, a comforter:

Key Features: You won't shiver if you use a comforter from us! And you will wake up more beautiful after you had a good night of beauty sleep.

Seriously, pay me the big bucks and I could come up with something for every item they sell!

My second thought was: Does looking in a mirror really always strengthen the body image? If I buy that mirror, look in it, and it makes me feel like crap about myself because I don't like what I see in the reflection, can I sue for false advertising? (How's that for a run-on sentence?) Hey, maybe this is a MAGIC mirror! Do you think I should buy it and see?

If I do buy it, I think I should re-do the kids' room so it looks like a Cat-In-The-Hat room. It totally reminds me of something that would be in the Cat-In-The-Hat movie. Aaahhh, now I am just getting carried away.

Maybe it isn't really that funny and I just have the most warped sense of humor ever. I just thought it was funnier than a one-legged man in a butt-kickin' contest (that's a dad phrase) - I didn't mean to offend any one-legged people out there. I'm sorry if I did. Again, me and my warped sense of humor.

I think I'm going to race to IKEA right now to find that particular mirror if it really does what it says. It doesn't mention anything about being slimming, or making you ageless. Because all of MY mirrors make me look fat and show all the wrinkles on my face. Definitely they don't improve my body image.

You should soo do that! A wise millionare once said if you wan't to love what you do Find a company you love the product and tell them what you can do for their company. You could do a better job of it than the person they already have and I bet you could work from home to boot. What do ya know, the best of both worlds.

I have the answer for you. Everything from Ikea is European and they're all skinny over there! Ha, ha!
