Saturday Infomercials
My dad came into town this weekend on a business trip and decided to swing by for a short visit. On Saturday afternoon we were relaxing watching Apollo 13 on AMC HD and within a span of a couple commercial breaks two of the most ridiculous infomercials I have ever seen aired. The first one wasn’t that ridiculous I guess, but it still made me laugh and is worth a watch. Do people buy these? They look like ski goggles. There have to be better alternatives than these.
The second infomercial had me and my father laughing at first (the lady yelling bingo is a little funny – sorry if that’s wrong to laugh at), but then turned into absolute disgust when they turned a worthwhile product (help people with difficulty hearing) into a way for individuals with normal hearing to eavesdrop!?! Really? I would write more on this, but I’m feeling lousy, am on DayQuil and can’t formulate my thoughts. I’m sure you’ll find this just as ridiculous as my father and I did.

My grandma used to wear wrap arounds… come on – there is no other alternative?????
I bought a Snuggie (in fact, I bought two of them). I also want a Sham-Wow.
So, this is slightly related. My little brother has to do a video project at Bucknell on engineering. Infomercials is the concept they chose.
