Cringe Worthy Titles

Have you ever seen a title of an exercise workout that made you cringe or wonder what they were thinking when the title was decided on? I think Michael Carson's Get Sexy would fit here.

What is your cringe worthy or what were they thinking title?

Joyce Vedral's Bra Roll and Boobs, or something to that effect Not cringe worthy, but it made me do a double take.

I'm no prude, and I can cuss terribly, but I think the "Dance Your Ass Off" "Skinny Bitch" etc. titles come off more as snarky-childish than clever-audacious. No cringing but maybe a roll of the eyes.

SCW's Desperate Housewives parody DVD "Desperate Hot Wives..." ....sorry, but, blech!

I never got ahold of these workouts but the "Yes Stepmother Dear" series ..some sort of play on "step"?! Oookaay.

My vote goes to "Get Sexy" too. What a mind numbingly stupid title.

There's a workout called "Dance Your Ass Off"? That's taking it a bit far, and I cuss like a sailor.

I hate hate hate the word "butt" when referring to workouts. It's a personal bias, but it still makes me cringe. Janis Saffel's Brand New Butt and More...ugh. Strangely enough, I don't mind "Dance Your Ass Off" as a title, (I know, butt is bad but ass is ok!?!) but I think that "Skinny Bitch" is cringeworthy.

Have to agree that swear words are too much and I too curse like a sailor (who is receiving mild electrical shocks).

I also wouldn't buy "Big Butts Hit the Beach" and even as a teenager, I wouldn't have been caught dead with Alyssa Milano's "Teen Steam."
