Yes, I understand the vast potential of da Interweb as a global marketplace. Where (and how) else can you get your product in front of consumers from Dubuque to Dushanbe to Dakar? Of course, this isn't always a good thing, as this promotion demonstrates. Then again, if there is one quality that seems to be inherent in modern human nature, it's the willingness to debase and embarrass oneself to almost unimaginable degrees in exchange for the possibility of the proverbial 15 minutes of fame.

Of all the things I'd think I might want to share on the World Wide Time-Suck, personal grooming tales would hardly seem to be at the top of the list. 'Course, I tend to be fairly protective of my privacy (never mind my body hair), so perhaps I deviate from the norm a wee bit. Still, I can't imagine a circumstance under which I'd want to reveal embarrassing personal details such as my grooming habits. Perhaps this is a product I might benefit from...but that hardly means I want to embarrass myself in such a public forum, no matter how much benefit might accrue to me. I'm not certain that one can put a price on one's dignity, so rest assured that I'll be sitting this one out...not that there won't be plenty of folks ready, willing, and beyond able to fill in for me.
Man, sometimes I think the Luddites might have been on the right track....
