Ever find yourself completely glued to an infomercial? What is it about then? I swear, sometimes I've spent hours watching them without even realizing!
Infomercials are like Hollywood movies; they star attractive spokespeople and have a massive climax: OMFG order now and receive a free CD Case Holder!!
They also manage to captivate the attentions of people with no interest in certain things. Today I watched one about a "revolutionary steam-powered mop" with a "swivel-arrow head" WTF?
Then they always have public examples, clearly actors:
"As a daycare operator and self-sufficient single parent I need to have the confidence that only the H20 Revolutionary Steam Powered Ultra Mop A365 Deluxe Edition with the Swivel-Arrow Head can give me."
There was another one with a new hybrid golf-club... I don't like golf?
"Buy all this amazing set for only $139, BUT WAIT!
*OMFG THERE'S MORE?!?*
"Order with your Visa and you'll also get this limited edition sterling silver necklace, ABSOLUTELY FREE!"
"CALL NOW!"
*YES SIR!*
