GOT YOUR STUNNA SHADES ON?
With summer (and heatwaves) upon us, I have a question: Can anyone explain to me why one would purchase sunglasses for more than say…$100?

I’m talking about those $300 Chanel/Gucci/Dolce/etc. frames. I mean…you wanna spend that much on a cute purse…or some fly ass pumps…fine. I can semi-comprehend that. But to me, sunglasses are so fragile…so easily lost…so easily misplaced…and so easily forgotten that they’re practically disposable! I could never really understand why someone would drop multiple Benjamins on an item I personally never spend more than $10 on (I spent $5 on these beauties).
Well I decided to take this opportunity to bring to you capitalism at it’s WORST! Anything to make a buck, huh? Here are some of the worst ways people have capitalized on Obama’s “brand”. ENJOY and COMMENT! Continue reading HAPPY BIRTHDAY OBAMA! (not so safe for work)
Many of you may have heard the Consumer Reports that the new iPhone 4 just isn’t worth the money. I’m really not surprised.

The strategy for most electronic/software companies is to make an innovative, yet subpar product that can be easily “upgraded” upon in 18-24 months (like clockwork!) The goal is to just get you to keep coming back to spend $100s on minimal improvements when your old product would serve the same purpose WITHOUT you coming out of your pocket again. BRILLIANT!
PROBLEM: If you are up at the crack of dawn about to purchase that [PRODUCT that’s only sold between the hours of 3am and 7am] that you’ve just GOT to have NOW – or else you’ll miss out on the FREE napkins??
SOLUTION: Dolla Thug says, “Put the phone down and go to sleep!!! You’ll thank me in the morning!”
I personally love watching infomercials, just for the comedy aspect. But please don’t get carried away and actually make a purchase!!!

There’s a new infomercial out that made me chuckle…essentially it’s a friendship bracelet that gives you strength (pay close attention to the oh-so-realistic demonstration). And I’m sure millions of people across the country are just dying to spend their money to get their hands on one…go figure!
REAL LIFE EXAMPLE My friend got sucked in around 8am some Sunday morning and ordered the P90X system for $300! Trust me, she doesn’t even have $300 worth of fat to lose!!! MAYBEEEE $8 worth of fat. But that’s stretching it.
Seriously. Continue reading Infomercials Are Hilarious…and Evil
