This retro infomercial makes me want to be a better man. (Well, you know, if I had any desire to be a man. Which, for the record, I do not. I quite enjoy being a girl.)
This is the most tragic-turned-triumphant infomercial I have ever run across. In fact, it brings a little *sniff* tear to my eye when I think about that skinny little boy in his blue knit pajamas and huge-rimmed glasses gazing in the mirror dreaming about the day when he'd be a real man. It's-- *sniff* so touching! *sob* And that music! It's enough to make you break down into tears not unlike when you watch the Notebook.
"...But a lot of us lost it."
NO! No, little ginger boy, don't give up that dream! Don't you dare give up that dream! *sniffle*
But...wait. There's....HOPE?!
"YES! If you buy the SOLOFLEX, you too can have the body of a classic gymnast! Then you get to stretch with fit women in leotards. It's fitness heaven in this gray room of ours with only a soloflex and the sound of your ever-growing muscles. It is in this fitness heaven that you will become the man that you know always knew you were meant to be."
*Snifflesobsniffle*
Why are you staring at me? Is it the mascara running down my face or the Everest of Kleenex piled beside my computer?
