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!

Meanwhile, At the Gaslight Restaurant


"Hey Josie. What's up?"

"Hey Gerald. Just letting you know I'm taking next week off."

"What? You didn't notify me of time off. Especially since we have that wedding reception next Wednesday."

"No, I told you that I was taking the week off. Remember? I was in your office and submitted the letter and you checked the schedule and said okay."

"That doesn't sound right. I don't remember us discussing... oh, I SEE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE."

"What are you talking about?"

"No, I see what your'e doing. Turning on the tables on me now, right? GASLIGHTING the manager for a week off..."

"Not at all, Gerald. I have a copy of my notification letter right here."

"Oh, SURE. You typed this up this morning and are pretending that somehow I had that time off conversation when I clearly don't..."

"What's that, again?"

"Oh, I see my copy is right here in the file. And I blocked off the week for you on the whiteboard. I guess we did have this conversation after all."

"Told you."

"Sorry about that."

"No problem. I'll see you in two weeks!"

"Sure, see you in... WAIT, THAT'S NOT MY HANDWRITING!"
