Disturbing

  


Have we, as a society, become so pathetically insecure that we now must rely on fake praise in order to avoid the crippling grip of depression and convince ourselves that everything is going to be OK? Unless they're buying it as a joke, who gets this? Who decides "heeeeey, I could really use a little pick-me-up in my life!" and gets a CD full of people clapping to play when they feel down?

And how much better is this "metal" version of the above video?

Unfortunately people in this mass consumption society is relying to products like these for self-fulfillment and recognition so I don't doubt that this thing has it's place in the marketplace and probably is selling quite ok. Sad as hell, but that's how it is. Why do you think so many people are Religious in this world?

I could have used that last week when my PS3 broke down. I defaulted to the old standby, alcohol.

I'm not even sure Ellen DeGeneres takes this product seriously.
"It's really the most hilarious thing I've heard in my life.  Everyone in the audience is getting one today!  Hooray for you! Hooray for you!"

She thinks it's "hilarious". Is that really what they're going for?

The metal version is pretty entertaining, but I'd like to hear the original.  It's too bad it got taken down so quickly.

The metal one is pretty good, if it was real I'd consider getting it.

Wow, cable adverts in the US are like the ones in the UK but taken up a notch. I laughed at the original video more, mostly 'cause of the overacting from everyone involved, but the timing of the metal songs in the second video is brilliant.

Hooray for you!


Edit: Woah, first video removed just as I posted my comment. =/

Theses videos are great, except for the FailBlog watermark, and the word "fail" used that way.

I think this kind of thing already has existed for a long time, it is called religion.  Weak minds think alike.

People would complain if they made an infomercial for cigarettes and whiskey sour.
