Life imitates satire
When life imitates satire, is it ever NOT scary?
Today we examine the question, "what's the maximum number of blades you can put on a disposable razor, and still be considered sane?" Normally that would seem like a pretty mundane subject.
That's why I love The Onion. It's great satire. About a year ago, they had a hilarious fake opinion piece entitled "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades" ostensibly written by the CEO of Gillette.
I still laugh to myself about that Onion bit, whenever I see a Schick Quattro. However, today my laughter was cut short by an actual news article entitled, "Gillette unveils 5-bladed razor".
How long do you think it'll be until President Bush appoints a first-trimester fetus to the Supreme Court?

Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more blades!
Might as well throw a cowbell on there too.
The funniest thing is that both the Onion razor and the real razor also add the extra lubricant strip! So, when is the strip on the real one going to start lathering?
