So there I was, driving in my car yesterday, listing to my XM satellite radio. When the occasional commercial comes on, I usually surf to another station, or just tune myself out of the noise. I was doing the later when my subconscious picked up on the tone of one commercial. Perhaps it was the background music, maybe the voice. Naw...it was the content.The commercial featured a distraught young woman who was trying to determine who her father was. Turns out that the fine folks behind this commercial - Identigene - had just the answer...in an in-home DNA testing kit that could solve the young lady's dilemma, and determine her paternity.
First we had the in-home pregnancy test. By peeing on a stick, women could instantly find out if they were going to be visited by the stork. Now medical science has gone one better! For only $30 you can pop into the store and buy a kit that contains three swabs...one for you, one for your mom and one for the alleged daddy. Simply obtain mouth cultures with the swabs (how I'd love to be a fly on the wall watching that), have all concerned sign the consent forms (provided), and send it back to their lab...oh, and with a check for $120 for processing.Thank you, Identigene!
And you bet the folks at Identigene back up their product. Well, they will. Just cough up another $250 more if you want them to stand behind their product in cases of child support, divorce, and the like.
Don't you just love technology?
And don't you just get a chuckle out of the knuckleheads at humor-blogs.com?

Was there a particular channel on XM, this ad was on? I'm missing all the fun.
Sure would like to see the Alice Tiffin/ Eliza Presley ,self proclaimed half sister of Elvis", "Vernon Presley is my father" debacle settled in this manner. Or, is it just a pis**ng contest?
Wonder if Vernon, after having been dead for 30 some odd years, would be willing to give a statement or at least some DNA? Whaddauthink?
Reeks of fraud and Elvis Gold to me!
