It's Friday — and after yesterday's uber-spirited blog, I figured we could all use a break.

Or at least a laugh.

Check out this infomercial for the Hawaii Chair, a revolutionary new way to sculpt beautiful, sexy abs. (Did that sound genuine or what?)

The infomercial claims that the "repetitive circular movements of the hula" can help "create beautifully fit and trim abs."

"It takes the 'work' out of your 'workout.'"

Uh, yeah, sure.

Oh, these folks are SO serious. And that, in itself, makes me laugh. Digg called it the "worst workout machine ever." And The Consumerist said this chair "freaked us out."

Ditto.

Thank GOD for Ellen Degeneres, who demonstrated the Hawaii Chair on a recent show. Watch it here.

I don't know about sculpting rock-hard abs. But I did laugh pretty hard. That's a workout, right?
