Default Late Night Informercials

Is it just me or are they getting worse and worse. I saw two last night that all i could do was laugh at, one for a product called extenze, and one for Japanese foot pads that take all the toxins out from your feet so you fell better. It just looks like it cleans your feet from the dirt you accumulated from the day.

The worst part is that people are actually buying these products. I don't know anyone that would discuss their partners' size like that and it's hard to believe that little pads could actually pull toxins out of your whole body, but somehow, these informercials can really sell them.

Yes I did see a little bit of the Japanese foot pads informercial one night...
I remember wondering what kind of idiots buy this stuff... But I had never
seen the extenze one and I didn't watch much of that one... I have never bought
any of those kind of products, being I really don't think I need to... But remembering
back in the high school when we would shower up after gym class... I can understand
why some of those poor guys are out there grasping for straws... But I do have this one Cialis
informercial video that one of our members [With Alacrity] sent to me
by email that I will share with you guys...

Warning: you may find this a little sexually suggestive...

The bulk of our citizens will believe and/or buy *anything* if properly packaged and commercialized, i'm convinced of it. One of the funnier useless products i've seen was the fart pillow, you tuck it in your pants and voilá; farts smell like "insert choice".

Alacritys clip was pretty damn hilarious though.

I think your right Carl, even my brother was once telling me about one of
these tornado fuel saver things you use to see on late night informercials...



He never has admitted to buying one, but I think he did... Right now he is
working on a hydrogen generator if that tells you anything... lol !!! I have
never heard of this fart pillow thing, but there is one you can find on You
Tube under "New Glade Commercial" that is pretty funny... But I'm not
going to post it because they drop the F-bomb in the video...
