Stupidest infomercial ever
So what do you think the stupidest infomercial or tv selling show can you think of?
"Natural cures THEY dont want you to know about" surely tops the list for me. Did you guys know theres cures for aids and cancer and herpies? Thats right! You can live the crappiest life and boom, magic, gone.
Most infomercials with the stupid blonde women on them usually crack me up even if there not entirely stupid products. OH MY GOD, are you telling me I dont have to cut my own vegetables and live with the inevitable emergency room visit everytime i want salad?????
What tops YOUR list?

I agree with the Natural Cures infomercial. However, it's more because of the salesman than the product he's trying to sell. Kevin Trudeau, who is the marketer behind Natural Cures, as well as Coral Calcium and Mega Memory, is a fraud and has been charged by the Federal Trade Commission for fraudulent claims - specifically that his products can cure diseases and cancer.

The top of the steaming dung heap has to be Ronco's Spray on Hair. I'll debate that one to my grave.

There is a product on the market that so successfully camouflages bald & thinning spots that I had no idea this person was using something. I'd recommend it.
I don't usually watch late night tv, so I miss all the infomercials.

I've seen ronco's 'mini rottiserie' which to me, looks poorly built. but for an extra $100, you can get one that's about an inch taller!
don't even get me started on the 'pocket fisherman'.

But in just 4 hours, you can have a small chicken perfectly roasted on the rotisserie (it reminds me of trying to bake cookies with an EZ Bake Oven)...or put it in the oven and have it done in an hour!  |

I forget what it was called- it's this new, amazing exercise machine- the Butt Blaster or some such name. It's a trampoline. A single person trampoline. There are even half a dozen exercise videos for it. A trampoline. Oh, I found it. It's the Urban Rebounding System. (Seriously, it's really just a trampoline.)
http://www.urbanrebounding.com/
The Urban Rebounding System is the powerful total body workout that is in nearly 3,000 health clubs worldwide (Bally's, Crunch, Equinox, Gold's, New York Sports Clubs, Sports Club LA, and the YMCA's, to name a few)
New York Magazine ranked Urban Rebounding # 1. A growing number of books are devoting whole chapters to the benefits of rebounding: Anthony Robbins’ “Unlimited Power”, “Fit For Life”, and “The Detox Book”.
Now you can do Urban Rebounding in your home. In just 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week, the Urban Rebounding Workout melts pounds of fat away, without any pain or stress on your joints. And it’s so much fun it’s the first exercise you’ll actually look forward to! It also improves your balance and coordination, which is good news for athletes and seniors.
Urban Rebounding is also safe. In proper form, your feet barely leave the surface. You don’t jump high, you jump strong. And First Timers can use the Training Bar until they get the hang of it, like training wheels on a bicycle.

A training bar for a trampoline. They really thought of everything. Only $119.97!   |
