This is brilliant, LM. I snorted, choked and shook my head in wonder. My, oh my, but I love a bit of satire with my biting sarcasm.
haha...i'm glad you shared the smallprint with us as well...so good...laughed out loud a few times...loved it
Very clever write on the irony of cosmetic surgery..
Lola, this is priceless. I love the humor, the voice you used of an infomerical, just perfect. By the way, do you need my mailing address?
ahahahaha flotation devices...ah you made me laugh out loud...i can hear this on late night tv surely...ugh...
Are you sure this is a spoof? I've seen adverts just like this.
Brilliant satire, had me laughing from start to small print :-)
Too funny, Ms Mouse! I love it. Especially
"You can now have the appearance of a fully developed conscience without the constant badgering and morality!"

Funny and reminded me of the comics with ads for x-ray specs.

This is absolutely hilarious and more than a little scary at the same time!
without the nagging burden of contrition
that has always held you back
and I LOVE the asterisks ... Awesome witty poem!
$9.97 a minute, hmmm? That's not too bad. I'm already imaginning myself in control of my consciousness.
