I’m not sure if the horrible infomercial is just an American phenomenon or not, but here in the US we sure do have some commercial doozies.
The Snuggie. The Be-Dazzler. Ginsu Knives. Urine gone. Yes, Urine Gone!
Sometimes the products look so great! And the prices are always insaaaaaaaaaaanely awesome! How can you resist?
Well, one product really [...]
I am not a fan of pole dancing. I went to a strip club exactly once in my life, and that was more than enough. It wasn’t my catholic guilt/prudishness that made me recoil in disgust at the experience; it was the extreme sadness I felt for humanity that overcame me while watching these naked [...]
This year’s Christmas Spectacular is dedicated to the one and only Reverend Billy Talen, whose movie “What Would Jesus Buy?” inspired me to go out and ask people just that. Every year around New York City, there are these Christmas markets where people hawk ridiculous items in hopes that people will buy them as Christmas [...]
I really do try to embrace change when it comes, no matter how hard that might be at times. Right now, there seems to be a change in our pop culture that’s super-easy for me to welcome with open arms. That change is a cultural shift in what is popular and what is smeared across [...]

So I took a trip over to the Green Manufacturing Expo at the Jacob Javits Center recently, only to learn that the expo was only one teeny, tiny part of a general manufacturing expo, where going green was hardly the trend. There was a ton of medical supplies, robotics, and more teeny, tiny pieces of [...]
Confession time. I watch inordinate amounts of bad, bad TV. My DVR is chock filled with Celeb-reality awfulness, prime-time network schlock, late-night cop shows, you name it. TV has always been my favorite medium, aside from books. Give me sixty minutes of idiocracy over a two-hour dramatic movie any time. I like my entertainment to [...]
