RANT - Snoring is bad for you

A so-called Report on Sleep on Yahoo yesterday was in fact a thinly-veiled ad for a contraceptive. And no, that was not intended as clever writing, it just came out that way. And no, neither was that intended as clever writing.

A New Solution That Stops Snoring and Lets You Sleep.

First of all, let me admit to being a light snorer, on occasion. In fact, I may be a frequent, heavy snorer, but I'll only admit to the lesser offence.

But who on earth snores enough to warrant strapping this WWE-sized belt around their head every night? You may as well snore, because there's no way you're going to get the light tap, tap on the shoulder and the "Are you asleep? Do you want to fool around?" question from your partner while wearing this contraption.

And while I'm ranting, why do marketing people think that a "buy one, get one free" offer is going to appeal to anyone but the terminally married?

And (grr!) the marketing team must've been smoking industrial quantities of herb to make the claim that this is "... the Easy Way to Stop Your Snoring".

As countless cartoons characters would say: Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
