Sick and surrounded by Stupid

I have been laying in bed all day long sicker than a dog. I have the worst headache, and insane amounts of congestion. I'm getting used to our new cable t.v. I never realised how spoiled we were when we had directv. I can't pause anything, record anything, and I am forced to watch commercials for the first time in over a year. I forgot how absolutely ridiculous some of them can be.

Infomercials are the worst. Some of the things they try to sell you are so beyond stupid it really makes me wonder what kind of idiots are racing to the phone to order these things.

Example 1: The SMORE maker. It's a plastic box that you put a marshmallow and a piece of chocolate in between a couple gram crackers, microwave it for a minute, then pull it out of the microwave and then push down on the top of it to mush your smore together. WHY IN THE HELL would any right minded person pay 20 dollars for this device? The only thing it does FOR YOU is push the top cracker down. Why would you not understand that it would work the same way if you pushed it down yourself. One finger and barely any pressure at all and you can mush your own smore. Morons...

Example 2: Sit down abs. The commercial claims that you can "sit on your butt and tone your abs"... It's a inflatable disk looking thing that basically puts you off balance while you are sitting on it, so you are moving around trying to stay upright, and supposedly toning your abs while doing it. They show people using it at the office, at home on the couch, and at one point even someone driving with this thing under their ass. How can that possibly be safe? Trying to drive around town with some off balance balloon under your ass... Idiots. Let's bring up another important point. The ONLY people who are going to be interested in toning their abs by sitting on their butt are fat people. What the infomercial doesn't tell you is that if you are fat, this off balance balloon isn't going to do anything for you. What is the point of toning the muscle underneath your huge muffin top/fupa? Let me answer that for you, there is no point. You will still be fat. You must do cardio AKA get off your ass.

Has anyone bought anything off an infomercial that was actually useful and worth the money? I find it hard to believe that something like that actually exists...
