Imponderable #49: Cars.com

The Imponderable is taking a time out from the news to take a look at a popular commercial. check this out:

This is how Cars.com describes that ad:

Cars.com takes you inside the showroom of a dealership where a knowledgeable car shopper is talking to a friendly dealer. Thanks to Cars.com and a thorough side-by-side comparison, this is no ordinary visit. As they’re chatting, the car shopper’s inner confidence is unleashed from his neck and shoulder in the form of smooth Disco-singing head.  “Baby, I want that car!”

That’s not how I’d describe it.

A man with a worm-like parasite coming out of his back (or perhaps somewhere lower) tries to buy a car while the parasite, which is strangely wearing a tube-like version of he man’s outfit, clearly demonstrates its control over the man’s every move. The brain-controlling creature forces the man to buy a car from a visibly repulsed dealer.

Seriously, cars.com, the man’s confidence manifests itself as some creature out of Heinlein’s The Puppet Masters? What happened to old standby of a little miniature guy sitting on his shoulder? This is just gross, odd, and creepy. And no way is that coming out of that guy’s neck. It is at least two feet lower, and I’d bet below the waist.

Why would cars.com think a strange worm-like parasite is the way to sell their service?

The question is Imponderable.

And why that commercial is so popular is also Imponderable. I find it a total turn-off.

Buy that car!

Imponderable #48: Dongyang China

I warn you, this may be too gross for some of my readers.

Far be it from me to meddle in the affairs of other nations, but damn China! What’s up with that????

There is a lot to talk about here, but they gather the “discharge” from the toilets of local schools? I don’t know about China, but have you ever seen a public school toilet? I have. No way would you want to boil an egg in anything that came out of there.

Of course, there are some real benefits from drinking, er, discharge. From wikipedia which I swear is just gross: Urine was used in several ancient cultures for various health, healing, and cosmetic purposes, practices which are still used by some people of these cultures today. In Western culture, these practices are known as urine therapy, a form of alternative medicine.

There are also no real drawbacks: Consuming one’s own urine (or the urine of a healthy person, if participating in urolagnia involving urophagia) is relatively low in risk.

Of course the biggest drawback is that it is just totally disgusting.

On the other hand, if they videotape it they may just be on to something:

WARNING: THIS GETS EVEN GROSSER
(Saarah, if you have read this far please leave now.)

2 Girls 1 Cup is the unofficial nickname of the trailer for Hungry Bitches, a 2007 Brazilian scat-fetish pornographic film produced by MFX Media. The trailer features two women conducting themselves in fetishistic intimate relations, including defecating into a cup, taking turns ostensibly consuming the excrement, and vomiting it into each other’s mouths. “Lovers Theme” by Hervé Roy, from the movie Delusions of Grandeur, plays throughout.

This one-minute preview is a viral video that became a well-known Internet meme in itself, and for the reactions its graphic content elicited from viewers who have not seen such films before.Around mid-October 2007, video sites such as YouTube were flooded with videos depicting others’ reactions to watching the video for the first time. Many other reaction videos have now appeared for similarly shocking and extreme videos.

And no, I am not posting a link. This is not the Late Night Movie House of Crap, Literally.

Why would people be so into drinking pee?

The question is Imponderable. To me, anyway.
