The Ya'll Turnative Morning Show on 95.7 The Wolf here at work - was "gifted" a box of "Colon Cleanse Kits" from Colonblow: the "all natural, go anywhere colon cleanse kit".

and they come into my office - Bob? have you ever had a Colon Blow? - oh dear lord.

and they've asked if I'd have a colon blow - then blog about it for the station.

a quick google of the product showed not only is it not FDA approved - all sorts of folks have had nasty issues and undesired affects with this stuff.

um - no - but, thanks.

WTF!

Blink, blink, blink, blink!!! Are they serious? Even if it is legit, I'm not sure I could take anything called Colonblow! Good grief.

it reminds me of the old spoof commercial from SNL in the 80s.

"How many bowls of your cereal would it take to match the fiber in new "Colon Blow"?"

with Phil Hartman...very disturbing.

That "go anywhere" shit might work for the homeless on NYC streets, but not for me. And keep it out of the subways, please!

I'm just sayin'.

Heh. I'd do it. Basically because I'm a perv.

I wrote (http://that-dang-otter.livejournal.com/404410.html) about this product in my blog a while back, can't find the entry now. It bears mentioning that the basic premise - that one's colon is full of impacted crud that needs to be removed by means like this - is definitively false.

However, I understand that this product is VERY entertaining.

I've heard that term for years, but I didn't know it was a real product, or that SNL had spoofed it. Let's see, putting something in my stomach called colonblow? No, but thanks for asking. LOL!

Psst: "Colon Blow" was invented by Colon Powell, now that he's no longer head cheeze at the FCC.

Pass it on!

There is a similiar product called "Colonic Cleanse" that's heavily advertised on cable and radio in the off-hours. The rest, you REALLY DON'T wanna know.

ah yes.

There was a Saturday Night Live faux commercial for Colon Blow, and Colon Blow 2000 (warning some admoninal distension may occur)

sort of a take off on a health kick many years ago regarding fiber...

Besides, that's not the end you blow anyway.

At least they didn't try to use that B.S. about John Wayne having 40 pounds of compacted fecal matter in his colon upon autopsy.

Seriously, some folks just have too much time on their hands.

heheheheh... you said "But, thanks"... get it? "butt" thanks?!

Lordy, does it come in diet flavors and is a brush sold seperately?

ColonBlow could also be a new slang term for a bootie bump, no???

Bizarre - your body is already so good at looking after itself, all this stuff about needing to "clean" out your gut is just marketing.
