Deliciously Dumb Oversell
In this down economy, retailers have to try that much harder to get you to shell out for their goods. And as it would stand to reason, people who sell stupid items like Freudian Slips notepads have to go the extra idiotic mile to get you to pony up for their pretty dumb products. Take the Unemployed Philosophers Guild for example. Their "Proper Mug Utilization" video (below) is a faux vintage production by Jay Stern and M. Sweeney Lawless that teaches the correct way to enjoy a beverage in this type of ceramic receptacle.
In the same mug-based but differently hilarious vein, the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild also made a special video just for their Global Warming Mug. And I also love their about page which includes this info about their profits, "...part of every purchase you make goes to philosophically profound causes. The other part goes to extra gold plated faucets in the Ivory Tower bathrooms."
For sexing up even the dullest purchases, we at Dumb As A Blog salute the Unemployed Philosophers Guild!
