I just came across this commercial for a product called the [Tiddy Bear](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw1g2yKxb0I). It’s either one of the most hilariously named products or one of the best SNL-type fake commercials ever created. I was certain it was fake until the phone number came up at the end and the voice-over guy started talking. Is this thing real, or have I been severely whooshed? ---

I went to the website listed on the commercial, and it appears legit. Hilarious, and legit. ---

Did anyone else keep thinking he was saying ‘titty bear’? ---

Please note how they keep the bear positioned, plus the name… well no wonder. ---

I can’t open Youtube links here. Would it be a board violation of some sort to give the website? Because if not, I’d appreciate it. And please indicate if there’s anything NSFW about it, because that will make me decide to wait until I get home… ---

It only works in America, though, right? Here, “tiddy” and “titty” are homonyms. ---

The page itself doesn’t have a whole lot on it, just some bullet points and a picture. The humor doesn’t come through as well as in the video, so it’s really not even worth linking to the site. Nothing NSFW about it though. ---

If a woman gets into a bad crash (and possibly gets hit by an airbag), wouldn’t the bear leave a face-impression on her breasts? ---

I want one! What a great idea! My body is oddly shaped or something - I always have to adjust the seat belt strap so it will stay between my boobs and be comfortable. (I have big boobs, and it rides off to the side.) ---

I called the number, and while I never went as far as to actually place an order (or talk to anyone – it has one of those voice-response menus) it appears to be real. There’s a two for one deal going on now, limit 6 per caller, and it’s not available in stores.
