Last night I found myself watching the annoying Sham Wow! guy on TV. He is unbearable. Even through all my anger, I did find a few ‘inconsistancies’ in the commercial.
First, at :38, notice how when he pours the soda (or pop where I’m from) into the carpet, it seeps out the bottom. That’s quite a mess! Scene cuts to a new piece of carpet where it’s not longer soaking out of the carpet. He even says, “Let’s do this in real-time!” Too bad you cleaned it up between takes!!!
Secondly, at 1:25, there is a clear cut of audio when he puts the Sham Wow in front of his face. Listen closely, you’ll catch it. The most annoying part to every infomercial is at the end.
BUT WAIT… if you order within the next five minutes, we’ll double you’re order FOR FREE! That’s a $19.95 offer for nothing!
Is anyone really believing that? Is there someone that is saying, “Bill, get off that phone. We only have four minutes left to order those towel things”?
Either way, I’ll stick to my soft cotton towels. Can you imagine a bathrobe of Sham Wow? It’s almost as bad as a Snuggie.
Ann Coulter, controversial right-winger who frequents the Fox News Channel, made a stop on the Today Show this morning. Originally scheduled for yesterday, NBC canceled her appearance. The caused the Drudge Report to assume that Coulter had a permanent ban from the Today Show. Obviously that wasn’t the case.
Coulter was on promoting her new book, “Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America”. Thanks for looking out for us Ann, but I can’t get past the fact that you work for FNC. They are anything but “fair and balanced”.
Regardless, in the midst of conversation, Coulter explains why in her book she refers to the President-Elect as B. Hussein Obama.
“What’s wrong with using his middle name?” she said. Matt Lauer, who did a great job of not backing down as an interviewer, brought up a great point. Do we call the current president G. Walker Bush? Absolutely not. People would think you were some sort of crazy. The only reason she is calling Obama with his middle name is to enrage people. “I think it is beyond ironic” that we elected a man with the same name as one we were after no more than four years ago. She compared it the 1948 election when Thomas Dewey lost. Imagine if he won with the name T. Hitler Dewey. Seriously? You are living in your own world lady.
She finished the interview with “the next four years will surprise us.” Trust me, nothing surprises me after the previous eight.
I’m sitting in my room watching football. You know, flipping between games on different stations so I don’t lose a minute of precious football. While on my TV channel journey, I have to pass over NBC.
Ice skating? For real? Hmmm do I wanna watch grown men knock the hell out of each other or watch Brian Biotano in tights spin to the music of Cinderella.
I just flipped through the stations and noticed the game was on. Phillies were up 3-2 against the Rays. I heard today at work that this was the lowest rated World Series in history…
I guess I can believe that since I’m now watching Mythbusters.
I spent last night flipping between the Red Sox game and my new favorite show to hate. Fox, always at the forefront of award winning shows like “Who’s Your Daddy?” (a show that involved an adopted woman trying to pick her biological father out of a group of impostors– canceled after one show), has another show that is sure to rise to the top.
It’s called “Hole in the Wall”. Contestants stand on a platform with water behind them. Curtains open and a ‘wall’ comes at them, and they have to contort themselves to fit through the wall.
Really Fox? I understand that most of your income/ratings revolve around “American Idol”, but any viewers that you may have had probably just turned the station. In my honest opinion, this show will end up as a flash in the pan (or the normal lifespan of a Fox show).
