First World Problems – Bye Bye Tears Shampoo Band Alleviates the Suffering of Children

Everything marketed for kids now and keeping them from misery and ‘safe’…

I’m surprised you haven’t gone off on the dog dicer infomercial.

Um, “patented flexi-channel”? Someone actually patented a groove in a piece of rubber?

There was actually a shampoo visor that predates this band thing.

Aren’t most children’s shampoo tear less?

I’m getting one of these. My three year old freaks the fuck out when I wash her hair because she hates the water in her eyes! Yes, kids soaps are no tears, but that doesn’t matter! Anything that will save me from having to fight with her is worth a shot!!

When I was a kid, I would use a dry washcloth to place over my eyes, that solved the problem for the burning eyes for me. 🙂

Tired of hearing the phrase “first world problems”. People who make infomercial products don’t exist to solve the world’s problems, they just want to make some extra money. It’s capitalism. The money they earn with their crap goes towards sustaining and educating their children, which is one of the forces that keeps us from becoming the fatuously-named “third-world” nations. It’s a direct result of the economy that allows people in the world not to struggle. There’s a nauseating liberal guilt overtone every time the phrase “first-world problem” is uttered. People who “solve” these problems with whatever “invention” it might be aren’t crusaders of mending the entire world. They’re just doing a job, one like any other, to pay the bills. There exist innumerable people in the “first world” who work tirelessly to solve the problems of the “third world” for which they are not in any way responsible. You can’t just tell everybody to drop everything, be it their meaningless cashier job at a fast food joint, or their useless product inventions, to turn their attention and lives to problems faced by unrelated, unknown, carelessly multiplying and thereby self-depressing people of disorganized nations that have not been able to assimilate the virtues of what people who love to use liberal guilt and the phrase “first-world problem” would at the surface regard as meaningless jobs. A “meaningless” job is what keeps us in the “first world” in the first place, and people in the “third world” WISH they could get any job, including the design of mostly useless infomercial products. So can the white guilt bullshit for a bit.

Sounds like someone got soap in his eyes this morning.

@Prynne You’re a parent and you frequently drop the f bomb like that for no reason? And let me guess, you’re the “do as I say, not say as I do” type parent. Sigh. I pity the new generation of parents.

The products a bit ho hum but I love the music they use to try and sell it. Sort of a weird cross between the B52’s and captain beefheart.
