You could look it up. More:

As if Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco doesn’t already seem like he’s in 10 places at once in the marketing world, now he can join you at the breakfast table.

Blast from the past: Comb Cleaner
Three years after first appearing here, it's still amusing.
At least to me.
But then, hey, you know how easily that's accomplished.
But I digress.
The original June 16, 2007 post follows.
Not one word has been omitted.
Pity, that... never mind.

Comb Cleaner — Why use your fingers when you can employ a specialized tool instead?
Maybe because your fingers work fine and they're always present, while you have to locate this tool before you can use it?
That's just my dark side talking, ignore it.
From websites:
............................

Fuller's expert tool cleans combs, keeping you looking your best.

unhearit — The anti-earworm
Can't get that song out of your head?
"We created this site for those of you that have a song stuck in your head and can't get it out no matter what you do. Using the latest techniques in reverse-auditory-melodic-unstickification technology, we've been able to enable our users to 'unhear' songs by hearing equally catchy songs. So really, all we're doing is making you forget your old song by replacing it with another one... sorry."

Quick Snap Ice Tray
Laurie Gelb, reviewing it in Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools, edited by Oliver Hulland, wrote, "My husband has very little hand strength, and these are the only ice trays he has been able to use in several years. We have tried aluminum, plastic and several other variations."
"The button on the bottom of each cube's compartment actually releases the cube relatively easily. No more propelling it onto the floor. They are not glamorous nor costly, and they do the job."

BehindTheMedspeak: I said be careful his iPhone is really a stethoscope
Doesn't scan nearly as well as the mother ship but hey, them's the breaks.
"iStethoscope Pro turns your iPhone into a stethoscope, allowing you to listen to your heartbeat and see your heart waveform, or listen to other quiet sounds around you."
Cheap at twice the [99 cents] price.
