As Seen on TV

Easy Feet official AD

Just click on the link above to see the ad I'm talking about.

Have you seen the tv ad for " Easy Feet" the in tub/shower handsfree foot scrubber? It's just one of the most ridiculous ads ever. The invention itself makes a little sense. Aside from the fact that these would just end up being plastic bacteria festering foot shaped scrubbers of doom, I might be into it. but the ad is just another example of bad advertising ideas. My first issue is that I feel the two kids in the bath tub are a little too old to be bathing together anymore. My BIGGEST issue with the commercial is the guy they show in the shower. While in the shower, water running he has a white shoe in his hand. He actually puts the wet shoe to his face, SMELLS IT,  and quickly shakes his head in disgust. Ironically I also quickly shook my head in disgust after seeing this ad the first time and every time since.

I don't know about you but I've NEVER taken my dirty shoes INTO the shower WITH ME, much less been stupid enough to smell them! Water alone never helps the smell of worn out shoes. If you knew they were stinky then why in the WORLD would you take 'em into the shower and sniff them?!!? Why stop there...just have a little taste and be sure their "ripe" enough for ya'! Gross. Theres some strange stuff happening in the life of that commercial advisor. I can almost guarantee the company would sell twice as many (cause face it people have still bought them) of these had the promotional contept been good.
