Then she was too embarrassed to admit to my dad that she got one, and mailed it to me. I gave it to a neighbor as a gag gift. I think it may have caused his male pattern baldness.

My favorite infomercials are always the ones with the overtly dramatic montages with them.� Note in the following how well the blonde lady executes the "My car is way too hot" look, and masters the "Ouch! My steering wheel is burning".� But I love the added and classic "Egg frying on dashboard" that they throw in there. � THANK YOU AUTO COOL!!

They'll do a little B&W "flashback" of people having a really, REALLY hard time cracking eggs, scrambling them, and frying them in a pan. Or they just cannot for the life of them remember what they were supposed to buy at the market or where they parked! And it is soooo hard to water your plants without an Aquaglobe. You're either overwatering cry or underwatering gasp. Love this stuff.

I actually sent in one of those test things...and they actually send it back to you with handwritten criticism. But have you guys seen this... � Last Edited By: SurvivorRacer 08/26/08 3:08 AM.

Love the kinoki foot pads.� Why don't we all have stained sheets at the bottoms of our beds if we're leaking toxins out our feet all night? �

It's like episode 2 of a long awaited reality show. ETA: oh shit that dumb blonde bitch who sat at the table must have divorced her husband that she got "so many complicated wedding gifts" with.

There's this infomercial for ways to make money -- it's fairly low budget. But what caught my eye was "money guru" Dean Graziosi and his questionable gender. I am fully convinced that Dean Graziosi is a transgendered man (female to male). I've got some lesbian friends who've adopted this same overly excited macho stature (like WOW!) -- except they don't wear suits and coffee ground beards. The OTHER infomerical that will forever keep me as its slave is for the GT Xpress. I can sit and watch Kathy Mitchell make the most bizarre half-circle shaped concoctions all the damn day. She skillfully uses those manicured Miss Piggy fingers to cram hot dogs, pita pockets, Oreos (you name it!) into those moon shaped pans. I also love the banter with her male counterpart. She adopts this whole -- see how easy this is how can people be so stupid to not try this mmm DELICIOUS! -- demeaner. Hilarious. Oh and the red hair is great too. I've always assumed he was born an Hermaphrodite, they chose early on to have the baby be a male. If he was transgendered he'd be more butch, think of my fave female to male, Buck Angel. I dont doubt he has a teeny peepee and some internal femme organs, a smorgasbord of a human.

Clearly she's the only one who gets it, considering Burman and Hazel are still clueless as per usual.

Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! But I didn't order them. They were available at my local grocery store on sale and I picked them up there. They don't break when you jam them into the dirt and they keep the dirt uniformly moist. I was pleased. Unfortunately, I kept forgetting to check their water level and refilling them and ultimately had to get rid of the plants because my cats kept eating them and throwing up. But I will endorse this product. It's actually pretty good. No, I don't know how they know when to water the plants. Must be magic. but the plants didn't get overwatered.

Seriously . . . nothing can top that. I have to watch it every single time it is on. It kind of makes me wish there was some kind of, like . . . awards ceremony, but for infomercials, just so that Hazel could sweep Best Supporting Actress year after year <3

They sell most of the "as seen on tv" things. My old lady neighbor bought the $150 colon cleaner stuff. Took it for like 2 days and ended up in the hospital. I do have many of "the firm" exercise videos. Yes, if you actually do them you will see results pretty quickly. BUT, dont order them from thefirmdirect. You can get them online from walmart, target, etc for a lot less and much better customer service.
