P.s. I also find that those "home" exercise devices are a waste of money. It's a lot of money for low quality equipment which may be better put towards a gym membership, where you can also get a far greater range, swimming and if you're lucky some kind of sauna.

"Here, we see that the blue sofa, which has probably been in this cheap, run-down rented appartment for some years and is stained with more than its fair share of semen and lubricant, is playing host to a trio of fornicating homo sapiens, one of whom has likely had her mammaries enhanced with some form of silicon-based compound. The mating position they have assumed is, it's fair to say, somewhat unnatural. The two males of the species seem to be unaware that their attempt to feritlise the female will be ineffective, as they ejaculate in her colon and over her face respectively..."

I'm entirely sick of its contrived set-up-to-be-close challenges, scripted amusement and tired stereotype interplay. They rarely review normal cars instead of cars I'll never be able to afford and the only reason it's not known as Nuts or Zoo TV is because it doesn't have football and tits on it.
