Weight Loss Causes Brain Loss

So, the other day I was watching TV. The most entertaining part of all and my favorite part (NOT!), the commercials, came on. I was just sitting there minding my own business when all of a sudden, the most confusing weight loss commercial I have ever seen in my whole entire life danced across that screen (and in this case it was more of a strip tease than a dance!) These awkward movements, whether stripper or otherwise, were accompanied by the interestingly seductive voices of Kim and Khloe Kardashian.

Now, I would like to take a moment to describe these voices. They were the kind of voice one would expect to hear if they called a phone-sex number. Like the person on the other end was really doing the dishes or balancing their check or making a PB&J sandwich, but not really paying attention to the caller on the other end. No matter what is sounded like, it was very fascinatingly uncomfortable.

The sisters Kardashian were parading around in their undernothings to try and sell their diet plan product package hoax thing. This GREAT deal is the Quick Trim diet made up of four basic products. There is a lemon body cleanse thing, a diet pill, oh and another diet pill, and this butt cream that you rub on and your cottage cheese fat just disappears! It is such a magical product that it has been endorsed by Harry Potter. I am just contemplating all of the butt fat I could get rid of if I ordered a whole case of that stuff. I am, as we speak, eating a quadruple-pounder burger while sitting in a tub of the cream, so the burger will not spend anytime on these hips!

The audience for this product is what gives me the most confusion in this whole dilemma. The product is most likely a product for women, but if this is true, then why the scandalous showing? It appears that the commercial is meant to be enjoyed by men. Why would a woman want to buy a product advertised by two women that are trying to seduce the viewers with raspy voices and horrible wind effects?

To end the commercial, Kim says, "How hot can you be?" and I just laughed in her face! Seriously, I have no idea what the product is for, who it is for and part of me thinks it is all a big joke that I just don't understand. I hope that in the future the sisters will think about working on their seducing voices and maybe spend a little more time working on their commercial concepts!!!
(NOTE: I do not encourage phone sex hot lines or anything of that nature. I am only using the analogy from what I have heard about and seen on TV...)
