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 caught my eye recently, called Shoes Under. https://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/shs_und_ood_ontv.html Essentially it’s just a box that can hold your shoes under your bed for you. Sounds like a great idea, if you hoard shoes like some superficial debutante! Or if you’re like me and live in New York and never have enough space for ANYTHING.
What really intrigued me, though, was the price. Of course, these infomercials always through in extra stuff at the end and knock down the price. The Shoes Under offer did this as well. As I did the math on this one, I realized that the price of one Shoes Under came to 5 bucks. Which means that the makers of this thing can charge a person 5 bucks for this thing and STILL MAKE A PROFIT. Which means Shoes Under is a flimsy piece of crap.
So, I had to buy it and check it out myself. And lo and behold, it was just as crappy as I could have imagined. Flimsy, smelly, and will fall apart very soon.
Now, since I ponied up the cash for it, I WILL try to put it to use. It WILL house shoes I never wear, under my bed, until it falls apart. But you’re just as well off if you just plop the damn extra shoes in a garbage bag and call it a day.
We make a lot of crap in this world that is useless landfill fodder. I wonder if that’s ever going to change? Or will we just keep making mounds of crap in an effort to increase our own bank accounts, so we can buy the crap that other people make?
Weird world – as seen on TV, and as seen all around you in reality.

February 12th, 2010 at 10:08 am
These FCC de-regulation by-products otherwise called ‘infomercials’ exist because there is money to be made with such offers. I do wonder who in their right mind watches this stuff on TV and decides it to be a good idea an parts with their money.
Once we the populace grow and wise up, the infomercials (double-up offers notwithstanding!) will go the way of the Dodo
February 12th, 2010 at 10:09 am
You’ll notice that for the second item that they throw in for free you have to pay “separate shipping and handling.” That’s where they make their money.
February 12th, 2010 at 10:14 am
PERFECT!!
I love the ones where “You will never need to buy another one”
AND they still send you 2 of them! What do you need the 2nd
one for? Cut the price in half and just send me one!
February 12th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
You rock!! So true! Great topic.
February 12th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
This is hilarious! I love it!
February 12th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
It’s funny because it’s true. And as a nice icing on the cake, the youtube add at the bottom of the screen was a “Turn your ideas into Cash! TODAY!”
February 13th, 2010 at 3:45 am
[..YouTube..] you have do to more of these reviews. 5 stars
February 13th, 2010 at 5:32 am
[..YouTube..] Haha. Nice!
February 13th, 2010 at 5:51 am
[..YouTube..] Lori, the second you get so sick of this world, that you’ve had enough, Jesus Christ will be there to call, do not bluff. I see truth in you, and you have a voice, you must do God’s will, though you still have a choice. God calls us to do the things that he wills, all of your sins, you’ll see in his ills. We all stand before him some righteous, some false, we all must reject sin, if we still have a pulse. You have inspired the lyrics I wrote, I see a great fire, escape in my boat. Be lead.
February 13th, 2010 at 1:04 am
Well done and timely. The expressions rock. You made my day.
February 13th, 2010 at 6:17 am
[..YouTube..] ROFL! This was perfect!
February 13th, 2010 at 6:19 am
[..YouTube..] @philochs Escape in your boat, huh? So you own this “boat” and you want lori to escape with you? Whats so wronge with living without relegion as long as you don’t do any thing againts your morals. I don’t agree with relegious people that says “even though you are a good person you would still go to hell becasue you don’t believe in god” That sounds like a threat to me.
February 13th, 2010 at 6:26 am
[..YouTube..] @Frogger0neXx
I never said a good person would go to hell. I DON’T believe that at all. But I know that Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. I know he sees all of our wicked hearts and minds, and I hear him calling to each one of us, to all of his children that he formed. I’m just saying that I’m walking the narrow path through Jesus Christ that’s set before us all, and so difficult to follow. I know that evil people, bad people, SCARY people go to HELL. Good people are not thrown away!
February 13th, 2010 at 6:30 am
[..YouTube..] @Frogger0neXx
I do not own the boat, and I do not take credit for the boat, in fact, I’m stuck waist deep in the moat! I know what I’m lead to know, and I follow the best I can. I tell you this so you may believe in Christ who sent me. He is the boat, but I’m already in him, Lori is searching for the boat and I know this, I’m very adapt at seeing hearts and knowing minds. I have seen things yet to come. I have stood before 2/3rds of the trinity. I met Jesus 3 times, and the holy spirit, I saw.
February 13th, 2010 at 6:31 am
[..YouTube..] hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol
that was hilarious
February 13th, 2010 at 6:34 am
[..YouTube..] @Frogger0neXx
I am wicked, WICKED WICKED! I grieve the holy spirit. I stood before him, and I saw how ill I made him feel, I made him sad, I made him frown. I tell you this, at some point we all must go through this, usually after we die. I believe I will go through it twice. It hurts to see how your sins affect God, but you will see, as I have seen. I’ve seen sins I have yet to commit, but they are still written in my heart, and on my soul. I cannot forget that, but I must live with it.
February 13th, 2010 at 6:40 am
[..YouTube..] Lori, this video was authored by God, and you are but his holy vessel. It is a code, and I can decipher it for anyone who wants it revealed.
This video means that we are all wretched sinners who will never stop filling and filling our spirits as full as we each can stomach with evilness. We are in a sick world at it’s sickest time, it is getting sicker by the nanosecond. We all perpetually attempt to cover it with anything except for Christ’s holy blood, he shed for us. We must accept Jesus!
February 13th, 2010 at 6:45 am
[..YouTube..] @NsaneNtheNbrane
It was perfect, because Lori was NOT the AUTHOR. Praise be to Jesus that he was instead. It has a hidden message which I have seen and shared, please except the meaning behind the video. It’s perfect too. It took my several views to see what it meant, and truly understand it, it’s a message FROM GOD TO HER AUDIENCE. She is such a great human being. Like everyone who follows their calling, she will be the same in heaven, only much happier, healthier, and oh so radiant!

that was hilarious, yep yep, but at the same time it was true of all of us, and our wretchedness we carry, mostly deceived in our own vanity, apathy, and pride. It’s horrific to know this about mankind. The video is genuinely funny to. I’m sure it was inspired by the Holy Spirit, Lori was lead to write this.

[..YouTube..] The shoes in the video are only your sins, the two feet that they hurt are your spirit and your soul. Your soul is all that you are, and your spirit is your inner heart. All mankind are the stupid girls. Our sins are what are “shoes”, we are Stacking them, hanging them, hiding them in the open, where Christ still sees them, even though we know we ran out of room and need them washed in the Blood Of Jesus that washes them away, so we are not found to be of guilt. Shoes under is the Devil.
February 13th, 2010 at 7:06 am
[..YouTube..] @philochs
The other shoe organizers that costs “a fortune” are the Trinity, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. It costs all your will power and might, and a lot more suffering to follow the narrow path set before us.
Although it’s cheap and easy to ignore the truth in our hearts, that will only be able to cover your heart for awhile, it will churn you all the while. You will feel ill somewhere deep inside, until you dedicate yourself to take the path that isn’t cheap and easy.

What’s so wrong without having Jesus alive in you? This, that means that your sins are not inside him. If he’s in you moving, constantly refreshing your heart, then he takes your sins upon himself. God will never throw away a truly good person. Lori would not be consumed in the fire, even if she is without Christ, but it HURTS. But as long as she’s going, or you’re going on without him, you won’t understand his will, you won’t fulfill his calling, we need to be made fully whole.

[..YouTube..] thats insane..in other words, you cannot take the effort to make rational choices in life, you accept the choice of not using the ability to discern…so your rationale is let the christ concept take over..thats a form of possession…and at the same time you banish any form of magick..whats the difference

[..YouTube..] the secret is in the S&H. it costs more than the product manufacturing costs – 2nd one free (just pay separate s&h?), 30 day money back guarantee (minus s&h?). They make the money on the s&h, and just come up with something that seems like a good idea, then they mass produce out of the cheapest materials (generally from poor labor as well). If you keep the product, bonus for them, but they really don’t expect you to. They’ll refund your money, they already made their profit from s&h.

[..YouTube..] The purpose of high heels is to draw attention to a woman’s ass.
It would be easier on their lower backs however if women just put a sign on their backs depicting an arrow pointing down and the words “Hey Look At My Ass”.
I think most men would appreciate that.
