I choo-choo-choose you

In the "people will buy anything" category, I was channel surfing the other day and came across a commercial for what will probably be the best-selling DVD of all time.

Trains! Trains!! TRAINS!!

2 DVDs featuring big trains, little trains, fast trains, steam trains, and more!!

And this set is NOT sold in stores, so it HAS to be good.

I couldn't even remember the name of the DVD, I was laughing too hard. Not so much the fact that the DVD was about trains - everyone has a hobby - it was just the presentation. They made it sound like this was just the most exciting DVD ever.

I'm sure they'll be following up their success with the long-awaited DVD sets on bicycles (one seaters! two seaters! unicycles!), trampolines (bouncy trampolines! umm..not so bouncy trampolines!), and paint (housepaint! spray paint! model paint!)

Remember, they're not sold in stores, so keep an eye out for those high-profile commercials.
