If the village calls....

I'm the idiot they are looking for.

I have always watched the infomercials on T.V and wondered, "who and where are the idiots that need these products?". I know it is the intention to sell the product but the marketers have a way to make an everyday, run-of-the-mill task look like an impossible feat or at least one that was way too complicated to even bother doing ever again.
For example, have you seen the commercial for the automatic hair braider? A normal little girl sitting down in front of her mom to have her hair done which ends up in tangles, tears, and tantrum? Da da da da...... the Braid Master to the rescue! Simply place the hair pieces into the clamps, press the button and impressively - beautiful braids in mere seconds! How did generations upon generations upon generations ever get by without one??!!
Then there's the Spaghetti Steamer (actually Pasta Pronto), the Bacon Wave and the Cheese Master.
HOWEVER, I have discovered as of late how difficult it really is to flip a flippin' pancake. I can't do it without making a mess. I flip it over the others, up the side of the pan, everywhere except where it needs to go so I really could use the Perfect Pancake.
So, since I can't make pancakes, I am sure there is someone out there who can't braid hair or cook bacon. Someone's thinkin'.
Has anyone else been experiencing difficulty with Blogger.com?? It's been brutal.
