  • Get your fat #%* off the couch?

    Last night we had friends over and ended up watching some TV–watched “The Hangover” which is one of my favorite movies…but we were watching it on a channel so there were commercial breaks. The commercial that came on a few times last night was advertising a product for salvaging sagging couch or chair cusions. Sounds like a pretty good invention…plastic boards that you place underneath the cushions and it reinforces the cushions foam so that you don’t sink into the couch. OK, I can go with the concept I guess…but then they showed “testing it out”…they actually said “to test it out we brought in a 400 lb. Sumo wrestler AND a 600lb. Sumo wrestler to try Furniture Fix out….It was able to hold 1000 POUNDS of SUMO!”

    OK, the guys shown were NOT wearing Sumo Wrestler costumes, actually didn’t even look remotely Sumo like other than having strange ponytail ‘up dos’ they could have been any random obese person walking around the nation and given that we do have 2,000,000 people in North America weighing over 500lbs, they literally could have been any random person.

    THIS is what we are coming to as a society? Rather than telling a 400lb and 600lb human being to lose weight and get healthier so they don’t DIE, we are creating products “to save our hard earned cash” that will just make our furniture better bear the burden?

    OK, maybe you won’t have to rush out to buy a new couch next week…but there is still the economic relation to Obesity and expenses that can’t be solved by revolutionary plastic that takes the strain off of worn out springs in a couch…such as knee replacements, diabetic tools like blood sugar monitoring, needles, insulin…chemotherapy for the cancer that obesity increases the odds of getting…you get my point.

    Sure, save money on the new couch and put get Furniture Fix OR take my advice and spend what you could spend on a new couch, the fix or the next proverbial Twinkie and get a new gym membership, home exercise video or get up off the couch and walk in place for a few minutes!

    I assure you that your couch will hold up a lot longer if you have two people who weigh under 200lbs sitting on it rather accepting obesity and resigning yourself to the need for something that “can hold 1000 lbs of SUMO”…..

    Want to save your furniture or your life?!

    Sadly, I think more people will opt for FurnitureFix this week than they will my free program endorsed by Dr. Oz, Dr. David Katz…TimeLife did an infomercial for it…and it’s saved tens of thousands of lives….but hey, couches are important I guess.

    Is it just me, or is the world going crazy?! While ordering furniturefix, people can “Pop Smile Repeat” eating the new and outrageously disgusting McBites too!
