Warning: I usually try to keep family-friendly information within this blog, but today's post goes slightly beyond what might be considered appropriate for the little ones. Consider yourself warned.
I love to laugh. The feeling of warmth and relaxation that spreads through my body after a good chuckle is similar to the same one I experience after a spectacular run. And as most of you know, I could use a laugh these days. (If you've been keeping up with me, you know I've been crabby, shall we say, as of late. If you've been keeping up with me, you also know I'm refusing to focus on that fact, and I'm adjusting my attitude. Laughing helps with the self-adjustment.)
What's so funny? The website for Astroglide. Now, I'm not sure the company has changed the site recently, but considering the theme looks to be all Fifty Shades, then yes, I'm going to say Astroglide is trying to capitalize on the Fifty Shades Phenomenon. Case in point: their new marketing campaign where you can "find your shade" of Astroglide. If you "dare," you can get a free sample.
Even better (if you're into that sort of thing), you can "Win a pleasure package and find your deepest shade of Grey." The site says how to win that package (get it? package? so funny!): "Enter our 'Purple Room of Pleasure' contest for a chance to win one of three Pleasure Package grand prizes, including a $50 American Express® gift card, Astroglide lubricant, a signed copy of Dr. Jess’ The Little Book of Kink, a bondage kit and more!"
If I haven't scared you off yet, then you can also check out a link to their page on kink. Yes, they have a link to "A Lighter Shade of Grey: the Beginner's Guide to Kink." I'm guessing that might be for those of you out there who just can't stomach inserting silver balls into your nether regions. (I don't really know. I clicked on the link and then had to get something out of the microwave.)
I'm laughing, but I would guess I shouldn't. All companies need to make money, and once the novelty of the name wore off (Astroglide is a much better name than K-Y Jelly, don't you think?), perhaps the company was scrambling for something new and exciting. What could be newer or more exciting than trying something different with your partner and Astroglide, right?
Yeah, I'm still laughing. But I think I'll stay on the shade of Grey that's so light, it's almost Ivory.
