Excellent marketing idea

From a gym in New Jersey:


Seriously, though, we are all in agreement now that Mel Gibson is the worst, right? And we will never pay to go see one of his movies again, and we will resist the temptation to watch Mad Max when it comes on basic cable late at night, right? Okay, good. Just making sure we are all on the same page.

Even I think this is stupid

I'm a total germophobe. I wash my hands many more times a day than the average person, I'm guessing. And yet even I think that this is one of the stupider products to come along in some time (except of course my nemesis THE KINDLE!):


WTF? I really don't get this. The draw is the idea that you would stop the spread of germs by not having to touch a soap pump... but unless I really don't know how handwashing works, in general the next thing one does after touching the soap pump is wash one's hands. Am I right? Does anyone linger in the bathroom after scrubbing and rinsing and drying to have some QT caressing the soap pump? Also this thing is like $17, whereas I can grab me some traditional soap for $1.99.

SCREW YOU, Lysol No Touch Hand Soap Dispenser! I shan't fall prey to your idiotic appeals to my hypochondria!
