OMG, not only do I remember that rather disturbing commercial — BUT I USED TO HAVE A LAZY DAZY DOLL! It performed exactly as it did in the commercial, and you DID have to spank it to make it “wake up” again. It was, in fact, filled with SAND. That was the highly advanced mechanism that caused her to fall over. I know this ’cause I dissected mine to find out what was causing her excessive narcolepsy.

Actually the first home video recorder came out in 1972, called “Cartrivision”. You could record TV shows and buy prerecorded content just like VHS later. There were other video formats that came out between Cartrivision in 1972 and VHS/Beta in 1977(?) but didn’t last long in the market. And there was home kinescoping, filming TV content directly off of the screen onto motion picture film (I think the infamous 88 reel of Star Wars commercials was first recorded that way.) So there is stuff out there from the early and late 70s people recorded at home.

And yeah, I am a bit of a video geek.

I can’t decide which is more disturbing…That horrible commercial, or Barbie cleaning up dog shit…Although if I were a kid again I’d have to have the latter…Who wouldn’t want a toy dog that could eat it’s own shit??

What’s freaky about this is, this comercial is a little befor my time (born in 77). However I vividly remember someone a cousin or a neighbor owning this thing and my brothers and I taking great pleasure in beating the thing because it wouldn’t stay awake, essentially emulating this commercial. I’m sitting here laughing at this memory of us tossing this thing into walls and such.

That doll would have freaked me out as a kid. I had a Baby Alive doll that I never kept in my eyesight. I swear it could see through my soul.

Now the Barbie, that’s funny. That’s damn funny. “Mommy, mommy! I want the Barbie that cleans up cleans up dog poop. It reminds me of you!”

Just got back from the White Stripes concert- it was awesome, but they didn’t play ‘My Doorbell’ or ‘Blue Orchid’ which I was hoping for. Oh well. I gave a lady 5 bucks for her floor ticket and my bf and I wound up in the second row, right behind Meg’s ass, basically. They are amazing performers, and sound great live.

I am a happy girl! Or, I WAS until this creepy doll commercial freaked me the fuck out.
