The $600 Vacuum

Incase you haven't seen the commercials for this thing, allow me provide the scenario. There's this Australian guy, (I think he's Australian because he sounds like that crocodile guy) - in any case, he has a heavy accent and he sure knows his stuff about the product - he talks about how his vacuum cleaner invention will suck forever; longer even, than you will breathe.

You have to love vacuum cleaners ~ they are the only product we purchase based on how much it sucks.

Anyway, he claims he has worked on inventing this device for years. He explains all the technical baloney and tells you, quite convincingly, how he cannot believe you've gotten by without this thing till now. It swirls, it twirls, it's quick, easy and clean.

I don't know about you but for 600 freaking dollars, it better fix dinner and tell me I'm beautiful at the end of the day as well.

My personal thoughts on this are as follows:

• accents can be a fine source of entertainment
• this vacuum dude has no life
• any woman who would spend $600 on his product needs take off the apron and get out more
• I'd like to get my hands on this particular "buyer list." Seems like it might be a great means to thin the herd
• to anyone who has arrived at this post through a search on the word "suck" ~ sorry to disappoint
