When that happens I just authorize "Operation: Emergency rear end Wash" and take a bath or something.

Anyway, I'm certain it's been mentioned in the thread already, but I hated the bing.com commercials when they came out. Occasionally they still run, but they reminded me of the Dyson vacuum cleaner: probably a good product, but purports to solve a problem that basically doesn't exist. (I've used a few vacuum cleaners over the years, and none have ever "lost suction" or some such tripe.) The whole "search overload" poo poo with bing was dumb, as I mean, type in cellphone into google and you'll get a bunch of links about cellphones and cellphone companies; not Alexander Graham Bell, or graham crackers, or derogatory terms to call white people, etc.

Dyson vacuums are the poo poo and I rolled my eyes at that dude's commercials too until I actually bought one. It was light years better than the cheapo one I had since college.

I'm certain it's a nice vacuum, just as I'm certain bing is a nice search engine. I am also certain that the cost of all the Hoovers I've bought and yet to buy won't add up to the cost of a single Dyson.

Dyson also makes a "bladeless fan" which is really loving cool, I admit, but is also bullshit, as it's not actually "bladeless": it has a bladed fan in the base, and forces the air it generates through a funky, aerodynamic ring which "multiplies" it or something. I'm not 100% on the science, and yeah, it's cool as poo poo. It's also $300! I'll just open the window, thanks Sir James Dyson.
