Gym Likens Itself to Auschwitz Because It’s ‘A Calorie Concentration Camp’
Just when you thought every single person in the world had learned the lesson that it is never, never, never a good idea to make light of the holocaust, this comes along: A gym called the Circuit Factory in Dubai put out an ad several days ago that features a picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp with the caption, "Kiss your calories goodbye."

As you might guess, people were quickly enraged after the ad was posted to Facebook (along with several other ads from the same campaign that were just as dumb but not quite as offensive). The gym's owner, Phil Parkinson, was forced to take the image down almost immediately. When he attempted to explain his terrible marketing strategy, he made things even worse, saying he went with the image because his gym is "like a calorie concentration camp." (Is there a gesture where you do a face palm and then put your hand all the way through the back of your head?

The Greatest Toilet Seat

And this, friends, is the freakin' Cadillac of bidets.

It's built into a heated toilet seat, so it's easy to install and comfortable to use. The ****-cleaning stream of water's temperature can be adjusted from 89.6 degrees to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. You can control the width and the angle. You can even make it oscillate in an eyebrow-raisingly-named "massage" mode. The jet tucks away into the seat and only pops out when you need it, and it's got a nano-coating to keep it sterile. There's a second jet for gently cleaning lady parts (or I guess guys could clean their balls?), a deodorizer, and when the fun is all over, there's a built in air-drier. All operated by a remote control. Wowser.
