KANGAROO KEEPER: Infomercial Review

Great news! Those makers of infomercial art are at it again, this time presenting you with the ultimate gift for any busy woman: The Kangaroo Keeper. Because every woman wants to be compared to a kangaroo.

Silly name aside, the Kangaroo Keeper got my sister's attention, and she's now the proud owner of one. The idea is that this is an insert for a woman's purse, chock full of compartments that allow her to keep her purse organized. You'd have to know my sister to know why this was perfect for her. She's an absolute neat freak. She keeps the remote control on the coffee table sitting completely parallel to the table side, and if you put it on the table askew, she comes by, makes fake conversation, and straightens it so it's again parallel to the table side.

On the other hand, my wife is like every messy woman in this commercial. Both always inexplicably have their cell phones on the bottom of their purses (and then complain about not being able to find it when it rings). Both regularly dump out the equivalent of a garbage dump on the bed to get “organized.” And both seem to stay organized for about 2 hours.

Even my wife, though, isn't as stupid as the one lady who seems to just toss paper money all over the purse. No billfold for the money, it's just thrown inside the purse. Makes you wonder how much money she's lost and how she can even afford the Kangaroo Keeper at this point.

The moral: Kangaroo Keeper is a great gift for woman for whom organization matters. Not such a good one for my wife who pretends to be an organized slob—but can never quite get the motivation for it.
