Stop conning viewers!

Every time I want to watch t.v. a bunch of lamers, con artists, and flunkies go on the air to pimp their get-rich-quick moneytraps, "amazing" workout devices, illegal golf clubs, and diet pills backed up by nothing fantastical claims in which fat slobs lost weight by DIETING AND EXERCISE.

Popeil and Lapre are the kings of this type of trash. Their lame business scams and food cooking products shouldn't be fooling anybody, but they are. If its not ads for cash, cars for cash, its vitamin pills, real estate, eBay parasitism. ENOUGH! Also, whats with these guys obsession with sharp objects? Miracle Blade, Rocket Chef, Magic Bullet, Ginsu, Fisherman's Dream...
WE GET THE POINT!

Also, if I see one more goddamned hour-long golf "infomercial" I think I'm going to pull an Elvis with my brother's pump shotgun. Stop pimping your illegal, overpriced bullshit drivers, putters, and wedges. We don't want entire channels being swallowed by your exploitation of ignorant people.

To all these people and corporations using actual stations for their cruddy, hamfisted "infomercials" just do one of these two things and you'll make millions of people happy. Take your pitches to QVC or create a brand new channel entitled
"Worthless Crap That Will Leave You Penniless and Unfulfilled."

I get really tired of those "lose weight without having to do anything" commercials.

Yeah, I'm really put off by these "miracle pills" that promise all sorts of health benefits. Most of the time these guys are nothing but hacks and charlatans. You get those mail-order things for all sorts of supplements and its quite annoying and cruel because people who are seriously ill buy these types of products and it crushes them when it doesn't come through. They pretend that they have some magic pill and hire people to brag about how great their lousy wares are. How can these phonies, these hired liars and lackeys of crooks and conmen, sleep at night?
