Furniture and Fried Chicken: Together at Last!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 09:00:00 -0700

This commercial gets off to an unimpressive start - take a look at that rat hole they call a warehouse - and it only gets worse from there. "I say, I say, I say" are Frankie and Johnnie selling furniture, dance lessons, or fried chicken? Bad dancing belongs in every low-budget commercial, but I'm still trying to connect the dots between furniture and fried chicken- buy a couch, get a grease stain for free?

eBay Find of the Day: Family Guy Couch

GiggleSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0700

For those of you who'll take anything that's free (you know who you are), have we got a find for you! Up for grabs and sitting in someone's yard for immediate pickup, the couch above, according to eBay has "been rained on like once or four times, and a couple bunny rabbits have tried to nibble on it, but then were like Whoa this isn't tender chutes this is a Couch, hop hoppity, hoppy-hop."

If the description isn't enough of a sale, the owner notes that this "brownish" sleeper couch looks a lot like the one in Family Guy. Lifestyles of the middle class and animated - who wouldn't want a piece of that? (For the record, this couch looks nothing like the one in Family Guy. See the pic below.)

Product of the Day: Upholstered Vajayjay

GiggleSugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:00:00 -0800

Oh, the wonders of Craigslist! For a hefty price, take a load off with this one-of-a-kind, handmade, upholstered vajayjay. Not only is it comfy, but it's anatomically correct - clitoris headrest and all! This was someone's prized art school project, but the owner must do away with the couch cuz ~~the boyfriend got jealous~~ she no longer has space for it. And buyer beware: "the couch has some scuff marks and stains around the bottom. . ."

The Godfather Sells Furniture Down By The Jungle

GiggleSugar — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 01:00:00 -0800

Try saying that headline five times. And if you think it's a tongue-twister, then imagine its effects on the eyes. Oh, wait. No imagination necessary- we got your crapmercial right here.

Mattress Smackdown

GiggleSugar — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 02:02:00 -0800

Judging from the opening scene of this low budget furniture commercial, I knew I hit the jackpot. I don't know what genius decided to let Vinnie T--sporting a goofy wig and a bad ass leather jacket while strumming a silent guitar--throw himself off the side of a building to sell mattresses, but he was onto something. I suddenly need to lie down. Laughing this hard is tiresome.

Low-Budget Commercial Needs to "Back That Thang Up!"

GiggleSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:00:00 -0800

I'm confused. Are we selling furniture, a check cashing service, or unbridled patriotism here? And why is a half-dressed chick shaking her bon-bon while standing atop a couch, why are the salesmen shirtless, and what's with all the hootin', hollerin', and flag waving? And what "thang" are we trying to back up- our lack of clientele? Behold the mysteries of low-budget advertising. . .

A&E's Obsessed Explores Extreme Hoarding

TresSugar — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:35:00 -0700

Do you have a slight problem with being messy? This week's A&E’s Obsessed, in its exploration of the obsessive compulsive disorder extreme hoarding, will have you cleaning up your apartment or desk and feeling for poor Russ, who can't stop buying things and also can't bear to throw anything away. "I get attached to things," he says, "because I don't have people to care about."

As a result, Russ's apartment is packed to the gills with furniture, mattresses, antiques, and tchotchkes that literally keep him from getting past his front door. In fact, he admits he's slept in front of it before because he couldn't get past his junk. He sometimes even sleeps outside, where he says there's at least fresh air and no feeling of claustrophobia. To find about Russ and extreme hoarding, read more

Why would someone accumulate so much stuff that his home becomes uninhabitable and unfit for guests? According to Russ's cognitive behavioral therapist, a hoarder cannot distinguish the level of an object's importance with respect to other objects. Everything is important, everything imbued with sentimental value, everything may be something the hoarder will need in the future.

In Russ's case, losing his mother was the trigger for his hoarding. "When I touch or hold a keepsake," he says, "it's like being held nearby her." But we're not just talking about photos of his mother or things she owned. Russ struggles with his therapist to throw away a dime store Santa figurine because it's wearing a purple scarf - his mother's favorite color.

Lucky for Russ, he has a great therapist and the true desire to let go of these objects and their relation to his losses so that he can clear the way for a new life.
