Swivel This!



I really want the person at the beginning of this ad to just keep slamming her television into the plugs until something explodes, and if you don't as well, you are a liar.

That being said, just one question:  Why didn't they just make this surge protector with the plugs on either side?  Why the swiveling action?  Doesn't that automatically just make it more fragile?  I mean, what the heck- in every demonstration in every commercial I've ever seen for this thing, the item is plugged in and then the SwivelWhatever is turned sideways.  Why not just make it so it's always turned sideways?  Am I missing something here?

  1. Just wondering, why the new format?

  2. The old format was "broken" and I could not read comments- after struggling with Google for a while, I finally decided to see if a new format helped, and it did.

  3. Oh yeah, I had noticed that. It was really annoying.

  4. My guess is to move product. If it breaks, the sucker has to buy a new one. Also, I like the new format. It's far easier to navigate and seems to load up quicker.
