Roll N Grow

"You hoe and you rake. You shovel and you ache. And for what? Flowers that might not bloom? Forget all that work!"

I saw this commercial on GSN the other day and laughed my ass off! It's a commercial for a product called "Roll N Grow". It really is surprising how lazy and careless we are these days.

Roll N Grow is basically a carpet looking thing, and you roll it on the ground where ever you want, water it, and tons of flowers will grow.

What I found interesting was they made it seem like gardening is a thing of the past, and that it is a really laborious work. "And for what? Flowers that might not bloom?"

How lazy is it to have a nice fake garden? I mean, it's pathetic. The whole point of having flowers is to not only make your lawn look nice but to show your beautiful work. Call it cheesy, but it's the damn truth. It would be like growing potatoes and corn by just laying out a carpet on a patch of dirt. And boom! Instant veggies!

"You can spend HOURS and HOURS digging and hoeing and planting tiny seeds ONE by ONE."

Ohh! The pain! The suffering that humans must do every day of our lives! How inhumane it is to have to plant seeds ONE by ONE and spend whole entire HOURS planting? It is just unbelievable right?

Is this not one of the laziest commercials you have seen? It's ridiculous.
I couldn't fine the video on youtube but it is on the homepage of their website: www.rollngrow.com.

You know, some things are just meant to be done by hand.
