Behold: SuperBuff!

You know, I thought I actually got British comedy. I love Monty Python. I dig the Office. And Green Wing is hilarious. But then Virgin Mobile, creators of the clever "Happy Chrismahanukwanzakah" campaign, unleashes a new marketing venture known only as..

::in deep 80s voice::

SuperBuff.

Ok, I'll admit, the campaign is pretty amusing, albeit disturbing. The website, superbuff.com, is actually a double feature — one part computerized buff granny, seen above, and one section that chronicles the adventures of the posing-suit clad duo of Flo & Jo. The best part is the aforementioned deep 80s voice in the granny video, ripping off a few "SuperBuffs" along the way. Oh, and seeing a buff granny say, "Check out my lats" is a keeper, too.

I'm sure you're asking yourself right now.. "why"? Well, since I'm American, I can't really give you a good answer on that one. All I know is that the more I look at the graphic associated with this blog post, the more I'm wondering why I ever decided to bring this up.

Enjoy!
