It's the day of the big recital and all the kiddies are ready to impress their parents with a bangin' performance. But the little violinist on the right gets the job done before any playing begins. She's a real show stopper, that one.
The Self-Sustainable Chair is actually an unflattering dress made of the finest polyethylene. Two pumps extend from the bodice and attach to foot weights that force air into a bubble of fabric positioned over the booty (heyyy!) while walking. The result is a ready-to-sit-on chair you can use anywhere-- for five seconds.
I'm all for the power of positive thinking, but I think the Hawaii Chair may be taking that idea a tad too far. The selling point? "If you sit, you can get fit" and "Take the work out of your workout."
Is comfort the new cool? Artist Nick Baxter seems to think so. A number of months ago, we posted this silly lounge chair tatt.
"You know Tamra," this here Hawaii Chair is as comfortable as an effing earthquake — but you're gonna get one anyway, cuz it's the newest piece of workout equipment that promises to take inches off of your waistline, without requiring any effort outta you. That's right, hanging onto the nearest stable object in a frantic attempt to keep yourself mounted requires very little — if any — exertion.

Kittens in casts. Babies nudged to laugh every five seconds. Stuffed teddy bears left at killing-spree sites.
One way to distinguish your exercise machine that does the work so you don't have to from others on the market is to make your ad sexually suggestive. Like, really sexually suggestive.
How these men can hold their "Shake Weight" self-pumping weights without laughing is a testament to their acting talent.
"The trap here for the GOP I think is enormous. I know that a lot of folks want to do the knee-jerk, you know, let’s start slammin’ and rammin’, but I think we really need to take a step back from this and deal with two things.
