Transforme­rs 10: Rise of the Refuse Sacks

-

Tired of the same old Christmas gizmos and gadgets? Seen nothing on the Toy Show that would look good in your seasonal stocking? Well, we have just got the thing for you: the all new, almost life-sized Operation Transforma­tion Doll (swimwear not included). is extraordin­arily malleable piece can be manipulate­d to t all shapes, expectatio­ns and egos.

Want to make yourself look good? Just step out with your OT Doll and you’ll be the talk of the town (and not in a bad way). e OTD also comes pre-programmed with its own snappy sayings including ‘You’re grand, I’m allergic to chocolate’, ‘Mine’s a still water’ and ‘Does my bum look big in this?’ With the OTD by your side you can always feel good about yourself, indulging without any pangs of guilt or remorse.

A word of warning: watch out for pale imitations which are currently ooding the market. ese ‘impersonat­ions’ are easily identi able as they speak English with a Finnish accent and are clad in black refuse sacks. Some of them are missing a head and occasional­ly they will talk back and not do as they are bid, especially when it comes to burpees and double chocolate brownies.

Make sure to get the real deal as endorsed by a recent survey conducted on the well-heeled men and women of this nation in which 94.4% of respondent­s said that their lives would be incomplete with an OTD by their side. “Sure I’d be lost without my doll,” quoth Jimmy ‘ Two Face’ McGinty ( not his real name) when quizzed on the matter. And Síofra Ó Siúcra (probably her real name) has already made her OTD her VBF along with her 2,000 Facebook pals.

So why not get ahead of the New Year’s resolution­s posse and book your Operation Transforma­tion Doll online today? You’d better be quick though because when the OTD are gone, there will be no option but to spend the rest of the year envying your friends as they amble about town with their latest models. And remember, an OTD Doll is not just for the New Year, it’s also quite useful at the height of summer, when wearing a black plastic bag is not an option.
