ok
there i was, all nicely cuddled up in my bed. Its 4 in the morning and i really should sleep but that documentary on first world war submarines is just too interesting to miss (yes im a history geek). so eventually the commercials come on and i start zapping. so i get to this channel that seems to play infomercials all day and all night long. So they have the newest of the new contraptions that will make you loose weight by sitting around on your arse all day eating cake and watching telly. It was called the sauna belt, i think. And what do i see? A slim, good lookin woman standing there, wearing that sauna belt (why on earth does SHE need it?), spinning a steady 2-beat weave with lit firechains.
im serious. it was really bizzare. she had that huge fake smile plastered all over her face. I think she was looking for the facial expression for loosing weight but failed miserably..........

why on earth would they put poi into an infomercial? Is that what slim people do? why do informercials exist? why do people believe that you can loose weight by wearing a belt that will heat them up and give them a rash?

people are strange

"One of the most famous classic Hollywood movie scenes has been given a very modern twist. With the help of some clever computer effects, Gene Kelly's memorable dance sequence in Singin' In The Rain has been updated so that the star now appears to be Breakdancin' In The Rain.

And it's all thanks to a car advert for the new Volkswagen Golf GTi. Having received permission from the Gene Kelly Foundation, the makers of the advert set about transforming the original scene.

For the backdrop to remain the same replica streets were built, and the ad makers used break dancers and body poppers to create the moves and follow the same route Kelly takes in the 1952 film.

Kelly's face was then superimposed and a new remixed soundtrack by dance music duo Mint Royale was added.

A Volkswagen spokeswoman said: "The idea behind the commercial is all about the fact that the new Golf GTI is the original Mk I, but updated for 2005. The latest Golf is seen as a classic and iconic car and we really wanted to show that in a very unusual and memorable way."

It is our fantasies that make us real. Without our fantasies we're just a blank monkey' - Terry Pratchett

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.
