As Seen on TV
February 12, 2010 144 CommentsI’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.
