Greatest home shopping stuff ups

Depending on my level of sobriety, home shopping ads on TV can affect me in various ways.

If it's the wee hours of Sunday morning and I'm watching a Demtel ad after a particularly raucous night on the tiles, it will either cause me to:

a) fall asleep face down in a bucket of chips
b) scramble for my credit card so I can buy a hugga-sucker vacuum (simply because I like the name).

On the other hand, if I'm as fresh as a daisy and the home shopping involves Moira McLean's condescending tone ruining my early morning Weet-bix, I may be prompted to throw a furious shoe at the television.

But I have discovered something to love about home shopping: home shopping bloopers. Think a chap falling off a ladder, a guy copping a knife tip in the ribs, a battery fire and a moth horse.

Thanks to www.cracked.com for the hilarity.

Show and Tell

There are many things I enjoy. I like pictures of pets in costumes, Youtube videos of people hurting themselves and films that distract me for days on end. I'm also partial to the odd liturgical dance performance, watching episodes of Deadwood in bed and reading a great piece of writing that makes my heart sing. My love for all these things has landed me the gig of Entertainment Editor here at The Vine. So in the words of Robbie Williams, sit back and "Let me entertain you". *punches self in head*
