    Great commercial.


    If this were real I can't help think of the upsides and downsides.


    Upsides:


    1. If I worked in the office I would get to see the guys strip down to their bathing suits.


    2. An awesome commute


    3. An easy way to return a wet library book


    4. Yet another way to shop that is awesome


    Downsides:


    1. Wedgies from hell


    2. Feeling like you got a communal douche with all female coworkers


    3. Being jelous of the guys that could just go naked and avoid wedgies and not have to worry about the douche part


    4. Worries about an obese cowoker bitching that they can't fit and the lawsuits following


    5. Getting stalled at the library spot like in the commercial and having a coworkers pile up and ram into you.


    Needless to say I still want this!


    Now, here is this slightly NSFW commercial for Scruffs, a UK clothing retailer for construction workers. You *wont* be disappointed!


    Its real and awesome!

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M and its Snowing Leopards!: I don't get it.

    It would be funnier if I left out the sarcasm sentence here, but too many people wouldn't assume the sarcasm.

    @LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M and its Snowing Leopards!: I want to be a construction worker, in the UK, and I want to shop in Scruffs, and live in a fantasy world. And now I have to watch the first segment of Reservoir dogs, and dream.

    If it puts you directly in the house, then I'd use it while he was working and rob his ass.
