ScamWow!

Ok, ShamWow, we've all seen this by now, it's sweeping the nation, blah, blah, blah.

I think the commercials are ridiculous, but not just because the guy is an idiot, it's mainly because of the error in the commercial that exposes the fact that a ShamWow can't absorb as much as they claim.

Here's the part that cracks me up every time.

Top image has a piece of carpet placed on an obvious puddle after pouring a ton of liquid on it.

Bottom image, they cut to a more distant shot, the puddle is gone and then he can easily wipe the small amount of liquid that is there.

You know the product is crap if you buy 1 and they give you 20 free...WTF!

Bottom line...quit spilling crap!

AppStore...

OK, let me start out by saying "I really like the AppStore!" I like looking through the store to see the latest apps.

But, here's where I have a problem.

Searching through the appstore you can see some of the highest rated apps, for example a fart sound fx app. I think it's great if you can make an app like that and sell tons, I really do think it's awesome.

But, here come the followers who have no original ideas so they copy an idea that has done well. Normally that's not a problem if you are going to improve it, but after an app like that has sold a lot, do you really think people will want more fart sounds? These copycat app developers think they'll hit it big by copying a successful novelty app, one of these type of apps is plenty. It's not like they are really improving this type of app. I think you have to be the one who does it first! It does well because it's new and people are curious.

How about you try something different, something that maybe hasn't been done yet...WTF!

Bottom line, the AppStore is a great outlet for creativity, quit copying!
