WTF?

I love that these are taken

Wait, what?

uhh, fits what???

Don't worry, friend. It's only *slightly* used. It's practically new!

Poor guy is gonna be called for years.

Fits Ali.. It's Muhamed Ali's fist..

Fake

marketing scheme for pink taco

Is that supposed to be a pun?

Someone is interested.

i guess hes had past trouble =P

if s/he just woke up with it and doesn't know where it came from, how does s/he know how much use it's gotten?

ssguerrand.....uh, you don't get out much, do you, my friend ;)

Since I live in Hollywood, I mostly react to odd stuff with complete indifference, but this..

This made me do a double take.

Seen on the corner of 3rd St. and Robertson Blvd.

A friend of mine tried from his desk phone whilst a bunch of us listened in. An outgoing voicemail message asked the caller, if calling about the rubber fist, to leave a number and a short message, and they would call you back about arrangments "for the merchandise over drinks at the pink taco."

Hmmm.... golly gee, this sounds like such a legit ad.

Ooo.. thanks for the detective work, Bowner42!

Well, as a viral marketing campaign, it's a failure as I'm no more likely to visit Pink Taco than I was when there were none in LA, but it's still funny.

what is the purpose of a rubber fist??
Posted 25 months ago. ( permalink )

Elix Perth says:

@MILDUNstudios
I'm going to have to preface this with a gigantic warning about being careful about what you ask for, but if you want to know, google the fetish known as "fisting". Don't blame me for what you find, but that's your answer.

@ Elix Perth... you forgot to mention... that the specifically rubber fist would be for someone who is not flexible enough to use his/her own fist, nor friendly/attractive enough to find someone else to use theirs.

or, i suppose, for an occasion when more fists are desired than the number present at the time.

(and yes, it is possible to use one's own fist... i've seen it done!)
