I personally never had a problem using a bowl, and if my kids ever did, I would tell them to learn to use a damn bowl, not buy them a gravity-proof vessel like the Gyro Bowl. But then again, I&#8217;m not stupid.
Best line: &#8220;Look, it&#8217;s not even spilling pudding on my mom&#8217;s favorite cashmere sweater!&#8221; [...]]]></description>

A few readers spoke, and millions more probably intended to but never got around to it, and finally the winners have become clear to me! The best and worst ads of 2009 are&#8230;
Best: The Shake Weight!
Worst: Windows 7 Launch Party!
I couldn&#8217;t have picked better winners myself! The Windows 7 Launch Party ads were truly horrendous, [...]]]></description>

The final entry in our list of the worst ads of the year is the series of Windows 7 &#8220;Launch Party&#8221; infomercials. Just. Awful.

		<description><![CDATA[
The Shake Weight had to have a place in the top five ads of the year, if only because it&#8217;s so obviously making visual reference to masturbation. When I wrote about the ad a little more than a month ago, I couldn&#8217;t decide which version was better, and I still can&#8217;t. The female one looks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The third nominee for 2009&#8217;s best ad of the year is a little infomercial that stole my heart. The product being advertised, the Slap Chop, isn&#8217;t that amazing, and the original ad, while wacky, wasn&#8217;t all that interesting either. But then a DJ named Steve Porter did a funny remix, and the Slap Chop people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if Windows is trying to be tongue in cheek or what, but their recent ads have been pretty lame. There&#8217;s more humor in a Magic Bullet ad, and even if the ad were funny, computer shit is boring. Nobody is going to throw a launch party for Windows 7, so basically, they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

I have been trying to track down this commercial for a while, and success is finally mine! Okay, it was a pretty stupid ad to begin with, but I still feel a sense of satisfaction in having achieved my goal. Presenting&#8230;.the Spongetech SpongeBob Sponge.

This vibrating barbell is called &#8220;The Shake Weight,&#8221; and its ad is quite, er, suggestive.

Apparently, there&#8217;s also a female version, which is just as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This ad is just plain confusing. The company appears to be selling regular toothbrushes, but calling them revolutionary. And at $14.95 for 4 (not including shipping), they&#8217;re more expensive than far superior brushes you can buy pretty much anywhere. What the hell were the makers of The Easy Toothbrush thinking? They would get laughed out [...]]]></description>

For this week&#8217;s spotlight ad, I have chosen the second installment in the Magic Bullet trilogy, which focuses on a portable version of the device known as the Magic Bullet To Go. Some highlights include:
-A much-needed dash of sarcastic, self-referential comedy, i.e. &#8220;with what, your &#8216;magic bullet&#8217;?&#8221;
-The fact that the hosts&#8217; friends are truly befuddled [...]]]></description>
