Badvertising – Windshield Wonder

by Matthew Laidlow on March 15, 2010 0 Comments

You know what’s really annoying? Bloody windows. Not the kind that internet geek Bill Gates came up with, but the glass kind that you find in cars, houses and balanced on the end of your massive nose.

So why are they such a pain in the arse? After all, windows protect us from all sorts of everyday dangers such as owls flying into us and wild sheep who’ll come and steal all our valuable possessions.

So what’s the danger with windows? Well for that, we’ve got to look at the material it’s made from. These almost invisible layers of protection are made from a fragile material called glass. Not only does it break easily on impact, but glass gets dirty! Yes, just like us human sorts, glass often gets dirty and needs washing. To normal folk, it’s an easy job, but the Windshield Wonder seems to suggest an everyday normal cleaning task is harder than tying your shoelaces with no hands.

You know how things have to be politically correct these days? This advert seems to be the perfect example. The Windshield Wonder basically suggests. “Are you vertically challenged and can’t reach places that normally people can? Well here’s a plastic stick for you to put a neon rag onto”

And that’s it. But if you wanted testament that the product isn’t a total rip-off, it even has a mechanic-looking actor person to say it’s brilliant. It would be better to have a real life grease monkey to endorse it, but we guess they couldn’t find anyone stupid enough to give their name to it. And all the celebrity midget types must have been busy.

If he was a real mechanic, where was his collection of cut out Page 3 booby fodder? Answer us that.
