I LOVE INFOMERCIALS!

The ridiculousness that is infomercials is why I love advertising!

I'm a night owl, so late at night I stay up "studying" for various tests and writing various papers and I see this:



TIDDY BEAR?!!? SERIOUSLY?!

As a well-endowed woman myself, I do feel the discomfort of seatbelts but I rather be uncomfortable for a few hours than have some creeptastic beanie baby teddy bear in my cleavage!!! UGH!!!

I put this product in the category of the shamwow, slap chop, and other ridiculous items on late night tv!

But the thing that's amazing about advertising is that these products SELL! This "bad" advertising and marketing actually works!

So, not only do i <3 infomercials, but i <3 ALL advertising. the good, the bad, and the UGLY! :)

I LOVE INFOMERCIALS!

Christina,

This blog is great. You'll be interested to know that we've worked with the infomercial association (they try to represent the credible direct tv advertisers)- it's a blast!
