tsaikoI think most people in America have seen the Shake Weight commercial. For years, it has stood as the gold medal champion of commercial for inappropriate looking weight loss devices/routines.
Until now.
Korea has just taken the gold.

Non-Americans are probably familiar with the shake-weight from South Park. That's where I heard of it, anyway.

They always have some person failing at such a ridiculous task (can't chop mushrooms, hang a picture, mop the floor, etc.) and then they swoop in with an equally ridiculous product that will supposedly solve the problem. Such as a product that will mimic riding a horse from the comfort of your own living room.

Is it sad that I didn't realize South Park did an episode on the shake-weight? Although I am not really surprised.
