But wait there's more! If you call now..

Call it a weakness, call it my own personal addiction but infomercials are and have been a huge weakness in my life.  Its been around for decades.  I think it started back when I was in Junior High and I saw a commercial for the 'Snackmaster' sandwich maker, I got sucked into this thing and my best friend and I talked my mother into buying it for us, we actually mimiced the sales pitch verbatim to my mother and I think it was out of laughter that my mother bought it for us.  We used it for a minute but it lost its luster soon after.


Then there's this bastard and the plethora of items he sells..  The knives (which I own), the set it and forget it(Which I own) and plenty of other things he pimps.  Even though I own the damn things I still watch the infomercials!  I cant help it!  The Miracle Blade really is the best knife youll ever own, I still have mine and its razor sharp, I can cut a piece of steel, some electrical cords and still slice a ripe tomato.. The blade never dulls ladies and gentlemen!  Do you see how Im programmed to know this??  ARGH! 

So now for my latest and greatest investment!
The Ninja Kitchen system!  It can do it all, Juicing, blending, make dough, crush ice and much much more, But wait if you call now they'll take off one of those payments of 29.95 and throw in the recipe book!  I bought this thing today and its on its way, I literally cannot wait!  Cristina let me buy it just so Ill stop making her watch the infomercial. 

Shamwow, got it.  Oxyclean, used it.  Simoniz Scratch repair pen, Used it.  Its weird though cause im your typical lazy American cause I watch the PX90 informercials too and we came close to buying it but thats a serious commitment and Im not sure Im ready to give all my "Fat clothes to my fat friends."  Maybe down the road ill commit to that PX90 but for now Ill take a different route.  Something about weight loss commercials, I dont wanna do the actual sweating part.  Heh..

Ya know to this day I still pine over Billy Mays being dead.  I mean, who is gonna convince me now that this product will be able to get every stain imaginible out of my clothes?  Who's gonna tell me about the special polymers that make all those scratches just go away?  Who's gonna sell me that mighty putty that could practically plug up hoover dam if needbe?  You're gone Billy but never forgotten!!

Sometimes I almost wish I had bad skin so Id have a reason to buy some Proactiv..
