Novelty invention

We just watched the movie on cable that kept on leading you on. It was about a young inventor in America that travelled to China to find a manufacturer for his invention. He ran into more deceitful people that took advantage of him it made you get a pit in your stomach  as you watch. I thought maybe he had some great invention so I had to watch to the very end. Eventually he ended up at the manufacturer himself showing his novelty invention which turned out to be a towel that had the words face on one end and ass on the other end. I guess there is a point here. You don't want to wipe your face with the ass end. haha
