Shake Weights: The funniest thing to happen since puns

(Made in collaboration with @Dat1Daywalker)



    Honestly the funniest thing since the South Park episode where they used the shake weight. I laughed for a solid 5 minutes after seeing this. But theres one thing the marketing genius who made this ad remembered: Sex sells.
     Oh sex doesn't sell you say? Go to literally any other ad about personal well being and try to not find a sexual induendo. Joke is you can't, because secretly your inner 12 year old is laughing so hard he just wet his pants.
    This walks the path between sex selling and next-to-prostitution so closely I can almost gaurentee that at least 5% of shake weights income have been made by college guys buying this either for "the lols" or for a "significant other they want to get in shape." The shake weight seems like it'd be a pledge thing for the "I pretened to have a sense of humor" frat. But its obvious that this is not meant for girls, I would hate to see the work out machine where they have a model trying to sell a piece of work out equipment to a bunch of women using a sexual induenedo as out there as this one.

Conferences

    I think the conference was a very good experience. I feel like I am very scattered when it comes to my paper, and my ideas and such are spread around a lot. But the conference made my paper get more concise and I know what to hone my paper in on now. I know i need to make my paper more concise and in turn it will completely change my thesis.
    I have no problems speaking in front of groups if I'm reading something, granted my reading outloud abilities are they best, so the conference wasn't that big of a problem for me.
    I do feel like my topic is far too contriversial though, but I mean contriversial is something I'd want to read as a teacher. But then again everyone is different.
    My only major want is to change a few things, add in a paragraph or two to make my thesis more concise, and edit out some things i have already written.
    However I do feel like the conferences should be grouped by like minded people, and even topic relevance to each other. But with such a small amount of people and limited amount of time thats something too big to ask.
