Infomercial

It's no secret that I have an unhealthy addiction to infomercials. I've seen them all....more times than I'd like to admit. I very rarely actually buy the things they're selling, but somehow find it so interesting. And the cheesier the better, bump-its anyone? I don't know if I could list all of my favs, but here are a few
Oxi-clean (a classic) Strap perfect (Currently using) any sort of steam cleaner even though I've never used one, the snuggie, spray on hair, the set-it-and-forget-it rotisserie, I can't forget the ShamWow (Dustin actually got 'shammied' by that vince guy-the one that just got arrested- at the state fair years ago) Nads, the gazelle, the magic bullet, Jack LaLanne's power juicer. And as scary as it is I know I've seen lots more. So there is a new show about the people that make the infomercials. I feel that maybe I'm not alone in my weird fascination with 30 minute long commercials. I don't think I'd ever want to be the actual pitch person, but I would love to be the side kick that gets to be overly surprised at everything. I think that would be the most amazing job ever.
