I'm so confused about this Facebook ad

So I was just surfing through Facebook marketplace this morning on the hunt for some Xbox One bargains (mine arrives very soon) and I came across an ad for a pair of lounges that really stands out...in a truly confusing way.


Not this couch, I just put this up here in case you forgot what one looks like..


For sale: Double and triple seater lounge $50.

Ooh that's not a bad price for a pair of couches, let's look at the first photo..


Wait, what the hell is going on here? That doesn't look that comfortable for one person to stretch out on let alone two. And what is the woman in black holding...a hamster?

Is this the post shot of a gruelling 'tackle the hamster holder' game I just invented in the last ten seconds?

I mean I get the use of models to sell a product but maybe not comatose ones stacked on top of each other. Unless the seller is going for a 'great to sleep on...under a human blanket vibe' in which case A+ for effort. Thankfully there's another photo to explore.


Ahh that's better, our helpful models are awake and posing like two happy hamster holder' tacklers after a little snooze session. This will really hone home how comfy and social this couch real-

Wait.
What is...
What exploded on the floor??


Is that from the couch? Is the couch melting away from one too many games of tackle the hamster holder? Did someone stomp a remote to death? What's going on here?

Amazingly that's all the pictures that came with this post. No actual pictures of the couch without examples on how to sit or lie on one (on top of someone holding a hamster). I'd ask to see more pictures just for my own amusement but they might think I'm actually keen on buying the things and try to upsell me a hamster.

The true meaning of Flo Rida's song 'Whistle'..

The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!

Please don't ignore this massage

It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner.  Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...

The coach with the most! Ep 1 - There's a draft in here

Last week I got invited to play Herald Sun KFC Supercoach with some of the guys at work. Pick your team of AFL (Australian Football League or Aussie Rules for those playing at home) superstars and hope they do enough each week during the game (goals, points and running powers slams?) to rack up the points and make you king of the office space by the end of the season! I haven't played a version of this since they first brought it out in the newspaper (where you had to plug in the details of the players by hand!) and have not having the foggiest who in the AFL is half decent currently (aside from the entire Richmond line up), how could this go possibly wrong? Welcome to draft day baby!
