So this week a particularly ridiculous and inane product has come to our attention here at Truth In Advertising. Its called the shake weight. They're made for both men and women, and of course have an entire workout program centered around them that's all you need to get ripped in no time at all. The shake weight is basically just a barbell that pulsates back and forth, and all that the user need do is hold on to it for an entire upper body workout. Of course, what the makers of this product probably didn't count on was the fact that its basically impossible to use this product without looking like you're performing some kind of robotic sex act. And just think, it can be all yours for 29.95. Maybe its just me, but the fact that the entire commercial consists of sweaty dudes using the product shirtless doesn't help. As with most products of this nature, the commercial comes at you with the pseudo-science, using terms like "dynamic inertia." I'll post the commercial below, as well as a parody we found amusing, for your entertainment.
