I was watching The Porno Channel last Friday night with lots of moans and man-ass and penetration-less, bouncy boob shots. Oh don’t say you haven’t either. It’s called Showcase. Anyway, Showcase broadcasts a bevvy of racy shows that feature women with perfectly augmented breasts, secret German sex clubs and kinky people profiles of persons you might be standing next to, unsuspecting, while travelling on the subway every day. It’s Friday night and things are pumping after 10pm!
Right smack dab in the middle of all this erotic TV is a strategically placed ad featuring Kim Woodburn (I can’t make this up) and her squad of lovely homemakers who try hard to find the most practical solutions to keeping your house and home clean.
Buzz. Kill.
The way they film her is the antithesis of erotic, utterly killing any ideas of amorous advancements. Her head, with her hair pulled back so severely, looks like a spray-tan melon with a bun. Her voice has the perfect school marm tone and she looks out from your TV as if to say “I see what you’re doing to yourself!!”
Bravo, Showcase, for making sure we’re not taking your programming too seriously.

i complained to b3ta recently about her and those annoying faglets colin&justin, and asked the british members to please stop sending their dross over to us. just because they have amusing accents does not mean we’ll find them endearing – the only things i want from those three are their skulls, polished, resting on a shelf in the bathroom.
That commercial drives me crazy. It is awful and she is awful and the ladies lines are so rehearsed and awkward and awful .. i have to get up and change the channel when it comes on (my remote is broken).
There is something really “off” about this commercial. I always wait for some sort of punchline. I also barf a little every time I see it.
Very nice observation, snotty! I’ve always said still waters run deep. I bet she loves the rubber glove.
She may be someone elses fantasy figure. Some guy with a fetish for matronly housekeepers could be shooting his load when her commercials air. I bet the little vixen knows this.
I physically jumped back from the screen when I first saw her. Reminded me of Natasha Henstridge in Species (transformed, of course).
The commercial (for those of you who haven’t seen it) starts with her inbetween 6-7 women on a tasteful couch. All the women have identical expressions on their faces as if seconds before they hit the RECORD button, Kim yells out “Okay! Shut the fuck up, you shriveled excuses for humans! We’re doing this now and if any one of you show one iota of individuality, I will personally rip out your heart!! Here we go!”
The first time I saw her, I was SURE she was a tranny and was a little surprised and pleased with how she’d infiltrated the mainstream. My mom, who thinks Kim is fabulous, says she’s all woman. Your photo above is the first time I’ve been willing to consider she was born with both chromosomes.
