Bowling for Tampons?
June 26, 2008
I kid you not!
http://www.dittie.com/bowling/
i must admit that i procrastinated for a good 10 minutes bowling for tampons today instead of getting my work done. (if any of my clients who were waiting for their jobs are reading this i am only kidding). go ahead, play for awhile. i dare you to stop after one frame. a tip: i prefer nikki with the purple ball. once i figured out her curve ball i bowled a 257!
thanks to a post from my new friend at findingblanche, (hi wendy) i have been introduced to the site for dittie, a new tampon. seriously, do we need a new tampon? don’t tampax, playtex and OB basically have all our preferences covered?
and the bigger question is what on earth possessed these guys to position a tampon to be ’serious about making your period more fun’. again, my favorite line comes to mind:
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
could this possibly be a marketing strategy conceived by ANYONE who has ever bled?
i personally am sans uterus after too many fibroids crowded my womb and i got fed up and yanked that baby out. (too crass?, whatevs). and i have to be perfectly honest. i just don’t feel all that left out about not having the opportunity to have more fun with my period.
oh, one more plug for findingblanche, she has the most hysterical joe cocker vid on her blog that you must watch.
wait, did i just use the word cocker in a tampon post…
