Oh advertisers! You rascals, you! Yep, another random commercial caught my eye. This time it was one of those annoying “movin’ picture” ads you see on websites that are (thankfully) muted until you click on them.  Man! If those weren’t muted they would be more annoying than regular TV ads that are (for reasons I can’t fathom) at double the decibel level of regular TV programming. But I digress.

Anyhoo, it’s a new and innovative product from our friends at LYSOL®! I couldn’t find the exact ad, but here’s a similar one for the same product:

Cool! You know, I’m as worried about germs as the next guy. I probably wash my hands 8-10 times a day! I’m downright compulsive about it! And, hey howdy, do they ever raise a good point! I never considered how many filthy, disgusting hands might be pressing down on my soap dispenser! Seriously, when do people push on a soap dispenser? Right after…..you know! And also after…EEEW! I mean…you could be getting some NASTY stuff on your hands every time you go to…wash…uh…wash your…

HEY!!!

Yep…dumbest product EVER.
