Infomercials

Has anyone ever seen infomercials that advertise electric shavers? If you have i'd like to pose this question: Have you ever noticed that the main selling point of these company's products is not that it's cheap or of grand quality, it's that you can shave on the phone? Or on the drive to work? Or IN WORK at your fucking cubicle?!?!

WHO SHAVES AT WORK!?!!?

God i want to know the five idiots that keep buying products because of "usefullness at work", that ruin television watching for the rest of us, more importantly for me. It's seriously one of the 43 most ridiculous things i've ever seen. People shaving while on the phone. Imagine that conversation:

"Yeah bill it's kind of BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz so i'll return your wife and kids BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ----BZZZZZ hold on i have to empty the hair recepticle, so as i was saying BZZZZZZZZZz and i won't do anything to harm Lucy until BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz ok so i hope you get me the ransom i BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ remember 4 million dollars isn't alot of money to keep me from BZZZZZZZZZZZzz your wife. Bye now."

I bet thats happened to someone you know.

Everyone that currently possesess (sic?) On Demand should defintely On Request to watch the BBC Original Mini Series "State of Play". It's a wonderful murder investigation told through the eyes of the reporters investigating the crime rather then the police. Apparently in England the newspapers do more for law enforcement then the law enforcement. Plus you get to hear interesting phrases like "coppers" "welding" "chia pet" "farm animals?" and "antidisestablishutup". Lemme tell ya, British writing is streets ahead of our chaps up on the Courant hill.

I saw a dvd featuring Bob Dylan stoned in an English taxi with John Lennon. At one point Dylan uttered the phrase "I wanna go home man....*long pause* i wanna...i wanna see baseball...i wanna see a baseball game." Greatest drug moment since Flava Flav accidentally told the Prime Minister to "Suck it down to china town, and don't believe the hype...cuz yousa fucking white"

Maybe that didn't happen. But which of you would have figured otherwise? Hmmn? I think Flava Flav is in the elite group of people in which you could tell anyone they did anything and you'd believe them. Remember if you can use a celebritys name in the following sentence, they've hit rock bottom

"Hey did you hear that (celebritys name) recently (insert outrageous event)?"

Remember this doesn't just mean plausibilty, this means that if someone told you ANYTHING about that celebrity you would believe it without question. There are very few celebritys in this remarkable pantheon but the ones inducted are as follows:

Mike Tyson, Paris Hilton, Darryl Strawberry, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Ron Artest, Courtney Love, Elroy Jetson, Howard Dean, Bjork, George W. Bush (submitted by Brian) Alex Trebec (submitted by John Colon) Jesse Jackson.

If you have any that i missed feel free to comment and i'll see if they can be inducted in to the hall of fame.

I think you should add Alek Trebec to your list. I would believe anything about him. Anything.
