Questions? Comments? Smacks upside the head?

<wiping tears of laughter from my eyes>. Oh, that was hysterical. Thank you! (And I suspect it would be even funnier if I had ever seen the ad on which it is based.)

Joy,

I am in perfect agreement with Lynn, what a hoot! Thanks for getting my day off to a good start.

Awesome! Hilarious--I really enjoyed this .

Thanks for sharing

Ha! That was great! Love the little disclaimer/not for use at the end!

Does that service take care of other bodily fluids? 'Cuz Superman's got quite a package in that photo, and if Lois brushes up against him in just the right way, he's gonna need a clean up in aisle nine.

Here you go:

And before anyone asks, no, it doesn't work (but it will stain your carpet). It should be kept out of reach of children, pets, and friends from college who think the appropriate way to examine unknown liquids is to open the container and turn it upside down over the carpet.

Morgana, LMA, Deadly Chakram: Thanks!

The hyperbole of Starcrest's ads inspired plenty of mocking when I worked there (I quit 15 years ago and never looked back). They're the perfect inspiration for silly ads in fanfic.

The original really was just as breathless as your spoof. I was expecting to see, "But wait, there's more! It slices! It dices!"

And I was right -- reading the original does make your spoof even funnier. Thanks for sharing.

I thought about making a reference to ... erm ... other bodily fluids, but thought that might be a little too close to nfic and could get me yelled at.

Several people sent one of Starcrest's ads in to Consumer Reports for their Selling It page:



Yeah ... a push-down rotary whisk that holds your hair in place. Someone in advertising either wasn't doing their job or was having too much fun.

Yipes. I guess a rotary whisk is one way to curl your hair...

Hi Annie!



So, the Restorer wasn’t meant to ‘restore his vigor’ while doing Cosplay with Lois Lane?
