I had to share this. It's legendary in its crappiness. Cool Guy

I present to you all: the ropeless jump-rope!

It's exactly what it sounds like. A jump-rope replacement that has no rope (and thus, requires no jumping). Because jumping rope requires a football field's worth of space (notice the woman trying to do it right next to the door), and it's too fucking hard, what with all that rope business.

And it's $40. For two fucking bicycle handles!

It improves coordination "just like a jump rope". And it burns calories "just like a jump rope". And it works all your muscles "just like a jump rope".

You know what else does those things?

Thank you for the post. I feel the intelligence of the world skyrocketing as we speak. What a fantastic invention. Why spend five bucks for a jump rope when I can spend forty and get a ropeless one? Fantastic!

Well, it's only a jump rope if there's an actual rope involved. I guess this was lost on the creators, lulz.

I don't know whose worse, the jackasses that designed and marketed this joke, or the actual assholes who bought it.

pfft. although the idea is decent in theory, who the hell is going to pay $40 for bike handles? i mean if you want a personal trainer, im sure there are enough youtube videos of some clown yelling motivating things. but yeah. this makes me want to go find me a skipping rope
