microwaveable find

i was nuking some lunch and came to the realization that our microwave sucks. despite 5 minutes on high (while spinning) my meal emerged in a tepid paste-like consistency that was anything but appetizing. so... i went to kijiji to see if there were any microwaves about that might fit my price range (cheap). i found a bunch but i must say that i know little to nothing about microwaves and quality so i thought i'd google a couple makes and models to see what i could find.

well, one make - the goldstar intellowave - led me to a video review by bunyon, an expotv member who positively cracks me up. the guy looks like he just woke up and was handed a package of something to blather on about and he does! the review is nothing more than a reading of the buttons and size of the microwave (a plus, it comes with a timer, in case your oven doesn't have a timer, you can use the one on your microwave).

some of his videos look like they were taken in a war bunker where stuffed animals are used in interrogation exercises.

he also has a dog and 'reviews' a wide assortment of dog biscuits and treats. for most of those he reads directly from the package with no hint of irony in his voice (kudos for that!).

some he's just phoning it in...

ok... i looked at the site a bit and these people get paid if i watch the videos so that's why they even bother. and given that the only real qualification is that they have to speak for a minute they're really just killing time (most videos last between one and a half and two minutes). funny for a couple of minutes but annoying afterwards...
