So does anybody actually know what Overstock.com is selling in commercials

[Walt Starr]

???

I see a "Big O" all over the thing. A blonde, attractive woman. A phone number something like "1-800-TheBigO".

So tell me, what are these rightwing nutballs selling our children?

:evilgrin:

1. sex ... and Fahrenhype videos

5. It seems they are trying to attract women as customers

Selling "The Big O" seems a blatant attempt to drive their marketing towards women in a "Viagra commercial" methodology.

2. You know

the first time I saw the commercial, I sat there thinking WTF is this? I figured it was some kind of viagra commercial or something. Honest to god.

4. I know they sell "Fahrenhype 9/11" exclusively..

It was "overstocked" from day one because nobody wanted to buy it.

6. From the look of their spokeswoman

Sex.

7. Consumerism is the 'new sex'

At least for some.

It's socially permitted, even applauded. It provides instant gratification (to some).

And, it makes the rich guys even richer. A winning strategy.

(ps. we're doomed in real life, but just keep shopping...)

8. crap you can buy anywhere for the same price

just another internet "discounter"

BIG donations to the democrats, and then one to Pat Toomey who was a republican challenging Specter, because Specter was too liberal, right? What do you suppose that was about?
