My first reaction to this hilarious infomercial (first brought to my attention by an @illusionists tweet) was just to laugh. Loudly. And pull random co-workers into my office to watch:

My next reaction was…to feel a little sad! Like, oh no! There are girls and women out there who really will buy and wear these things because they feel their own god-given assets aren’t good enough to rock au naturel.
I mean, I wear my share of spanx under clingy dresses—but this feels different somehow. With those I’m just smoothing out what’s already there. With these booty-popping panties, you’re actually changing your shape. I’m really tired of product after product meant to make women more, more, more physically ideal. DO NOT WANT.
Maybe I’m being too sensitive—what do you think? (Either way, I’m about to watch this video again. The pop! gets me every time.)
