The Summer of Ooze


Many of you are aware of the Oozinator, the new Super Soaker from Hasbro which, to anyone who has spent any amount of time looking at things they shouldn't be looking at on the IntarWub, is insanely inappropriate. If you don't believe me, here's the YouTube link for the ad (SFW but kind of shouldn't be). The Poopmonster and I don't agree on many things, but we both agree that today is Oozy Tuesday.

I've been looking at things from my childhood recently on Wikipedia and found the entry for my hometown. Holy cow that's kind of depressing.

Ooze on! It's the Summer of Ooze!

Oh, man. Did these marketers and game designers never watch four minutes of a porno?

It really is not right.

Locust Grove is an insanely terrible name for a town. It's like the founders wanted it to turn out blighted or something.

That wikipedia entry really makes you look like a prime suspect for that other thing that is in there.

Hey Jeffery, there's an old indian springs that turned into a hunting lodge in my town. It's supposed to be haunted. But everyone that talks about it being haunted and calls it "The Girl Scout Camp", and tells the Locust Grove story.

Why Weedmaster P enjoys it so much, I'll never know...

Oh God Jeffrey. Its even more depressing that you edited the Wkipedia entry yourself to reflect that you were born there. :)

I wonder if maybe someone was caught watching porn on company time and needed a product design to justify how it constituted "research"

There will no doubt eventually be an Oozinator XL, twice as big, which kids will buy and then mock those with the smaller ones.

Also maybe a strap-on Oozinator for lesbians who want to be able to moneyshot

Odd, a day when Weedmaster P isn't stoned? He just don't look right without bloodshot eyes. . .

This is one of those situations where you have to wonder about the people that greenlit the product. Do they laugh hysterically every time they think about it? Do they even know what they have unleashed on the world?

Man, at least it's green, so it's like you're getting raped by the Predator or something. If it was any sort of flesh-tonish colour, that'd be chaos.

I saw the commercial months ago, but I still find it hilarious. I reckon they might catch wind of it and make the ooze a different colour, but the damage is already done.

Do you think we're all gonna end up on FBI child sex abuse watch lists 'cause we watched that commercial and posted about it?

Oopsie.

At least with a town as small as that you get the number 2 spot on the "history of" section.
