Subject: LOL @ Infomercials
Written By: whistledog on 11/28/09 at 5:28 pm
Have you seen the one for the Jupiter Jack? It's a device you plug into your cellphone, then tune your car radio to the required dial so you can talk on your phone safely while driving. Of course, while the pitchman is telling us this, he's behind the wheel of a car driving while looking to the right at the camera. Real safe, buddy! Let us know what happens after you run over that old lady at the crosswalk because you didn't have your eyes on the road! LOL
Vince for Slap Chop: "You're gonna love my nuts"

The part that kills me is in the Slap Chop ad where he is cutting onions with it, he then says "We're gonna make America skinny again". Tell me Vince, how is eating Onions going to make you skinny? ???

The Giant Iggle grocery store by my house has an "As Seen on TV" section, where they sell all sorts of infomercial products.
They have the Slap Chop, ShamWOW!, Snuggies, and all sorts of other stuff that I cannot remember now, but instantly recognize when I walk past that section. When I see the rack, suddenly I feel the need to have each and every one of those things; I almost feel like a star because I am in their presence.
But, alas... I have only broken down and bought one thing so far. I bought my Mum a Snuggie a couple a weeks ago for $14.99. ;D

I like the infomercial for Life Line because the acting is ridiculously bad.

The lady who sells the Silver Bullet (Magic Bullet) food blender is supremely annoying.
I'd like to shove her head in that thing and turn it up to 10. ;D

Ped-Egg works, but the commercials are pretty gross.

My Mom is 89 and a bit infirmed. She will sit at the sofa, with a sweater all crunched up around her to keep warm (thermostat already cranked way up).
So I figure "Hey, I'll get her a Snuggie at Giant Iggle".
Two weeks later I have yet to see her using the Snuggie as-designed (backwards bathrobe) and instead every time she'll be wearing it like a robe, with the front open and still cold. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/11/BangHead.gif
