The Curious Product Shots of Basement Shelving on Amazon

I was in the market for some sturdy shelving for the basement and looked on Amazon. What I found wasn't so much helpful as it was odd.


Quite a few shelving units had an attractive woman standing next to the shelving unit to assumedly show scale. But these women were dressed for a Vegas bachelorette party or a bitcoin commercial, not for stacking laundry detergent.


I mean, I get it. Maybe most basement shelf purchasers are men. So sure, let's hook them with a gussied up busty blonde and then let their dick make the purchasing decisions. 


I guess the alternative is showing some young dude jumping midair. And now I don't know if the shelving is huge or that guy is tiny as a 4th grader. You can't win!
