Sometimes I wonder about all the stuff they’re trying to sell.

I have trouble listening to that guy Billy Mays who yells at you the whole time he is trying to sell you Oxyclean, Kaboom, and all those other products on his infomercials. Very irritating.

I love the infomercial for the SHAMWOW! That thing is f$&cking incredible! I mean really, it’s pure genius to name a chamois and market it for so many purposes. The fact that you get color coded SHAMWOWS to use in specific household areas? Priceless.

SHAM-WOW!! I often hear it and ponder how quickly he would shut up if Ishoved one of his miracles in his loud mouth.

On a semi-related topic, my local news station does a series titled, “Does it Really Do That?” where every week they review different “As seen on TV” products. It’s worth a look

I am totally freaked by the late night infomercial selling a product to increase the “girth and width” of bowel movements. Apparently, you’re supposed to be weighing (daily) the excreta of your family members.

I LOATHE the extenze commercials. The thing that kills me about those commercials is they dont actually say penis enlargement a single time in the whole thing. They just say “this pill has been proven to enlarge that special part of a mans body. Wtf!? Just say it g’s. The worst is hearing the “doctor” say it and then follow that statement by “its not a scam its been scientifically proven” EGH
