Tiddy Bear -- the product alone says it all.



Have a hard time driving with those irritating seat belts? TIDDY BEAR to the rescue! It is supposedly something of great use, to prevent the ache of shoulder belts. With the help of the soft cushy beads the tiddy bear seems to consist of, it relieves stress from any area the seatbelt seems to apply pressure to. It makes it “more comfortable to drive” and “snuggles comfortably to your needs” as it is mentioned in the infomercial ad. What is even more entirely insane is the fact that they are selling those tiddy bears for 15 dollars, "but wait if you buy one, we'll throw another one for free!" Yes, did I mention it is real? Call it, a great laugh, really. It is amazing how this was actually approved to air. I mean, it must have gone through a bunch of people before it was shown. Who approved this? How they sell things in such a negatively sexual way, is completely and absolutely unbearable. And to use various interesting choices of words completely embodies the whole sexual connotation they are evoking in this particular product like “stays where you want it, till you move it.”

As you can tell, they even had to spell it in the beginning around 0:10 - 0:12 in the second video, so that it wont be misinterpreted for something else that would be disgustingly inappropriate language. T-I-D-D-Y. Honestly, if you were going to name your product like that, you might as well have spelled it out as T-I-T-T-Y. It sounds pretty much the same to me. Even using the little baby as an example was extremely hilarious. It seemed like he wanted to rip off the tiddy bear. It did not seem pleasant to him whatsoever. They go on and on explaining its beneficial causes such as its task to “move up and down;” seriously, what would you think if you heard that or the fact that they always seem to land on top of those women’s chests as an example. Imagine just listening to it without actually looking at the video. Combining the actors movements as well as the audio gives it that super sexual approach, as if the sexual choices of words were not bad enough. It is a definite knock out.
