New Infomercials
Nov. 16th, 2005 05:38 amOkay, it's really sad that I recognize new infomercials. When you get up as early as I do, I often find myself flipping through channels in the morning, seeing the same junk being hocked. This morning I noted a few new ones have been added.
Super buff Christopher Knight (aka Peter Brady) is now selling the AB Lounge, lying there on the tilting thingee shirtless, doing sit-ups. I have to admit, he's got a nice chest and abs. It may actually increase sales.
The other is the more disturbing one. Ron Jeremy, furry porn star, is now endorsing an "all-natural male enhancement" called Extenze. I find this one odd because Jeremy is known for having a large endowment anyway. Apparently, the promotional stuff has the top ten male porn stars stating that they use the junk. I wonder if that kind of endorsement would encourage guys to buy it? The stuff is crap though, it's a scam to get your credit card number to charge it for the next 30 day sample, whether you want it or not. The guy who does the "Smiling Bob" Enzyte version is in deep right now for doing that.
Save your money, buy comic books, DVD's, or dirty movies instead.

Have you seen the Time Life CD collection hosted by Barry Williams?

I always selected his movies, my twin drools over the chicks while I secretly pined over him. Whew.. in the day, he was HOT!
And I have seen Barry Williams hocking the 1970's music collection. Actually, some of the songs are pretty good.

I am seriously considering that set that Barry Williams is hocking though

Actually there are some great songs on the set, but I avoid Time Life. My mom used to get things from them, and had a heck of a time getting them to STOP sending her stuff after she had canceled. Though, that was 20 years ago or so.

Oh...and from what I heard he is really cheap when it comes to himself....but when it comes to his friends he basically will empty his wallet and pockets if they need help.

Date: 2005-11-16 03:45 pm (UTC)They had this one lady there, an "actress" as they put it, who had been with "just under 1000 guys" about how much size mattered. She was the stupidest person, giggling like a school girl trying to use big words. Like you could take anything she said seriously. As far as informercials go, it is pretty sad.

The other night when I went to bed, (at about 4 A.M.), Michael rolled over and said "Put the tv on VH1. I don't want those people trying to sell me 'that ladder' again."
(That ladder that folds up to make scaffolding, a step ladder, and 18 other combinations of laddery things)
I'm OVER the girls gone wild commercials too. I mean I'm not sure how they make money with them having to spend so much money for their infomercials to be aired. Oh, wait! They too wanna charge people for the next video and the next one and the next one...whether you want it or not.
