This has nothing to do with anything related to Thanksgiving, or food, or family (lol), but dang it, I just have to throw it out there.What's up with the infomercials that promise "More Sex", "Better Sex", "Better Orgasms", blah, blah, blah.
Back in the day, people were selling non-stick pans, Flowbees, bathroom cleaners, picker uppers. and flat hoses.These are the same items we're told can only be purchased on television, but I declare that every time I'm in Wal-Mart, they're staring me in the face - AND they're cheaper!
I'm a late night television watcher, and while flipping through and reading, these new age commercials are messing with my mind, guys! They're everywhere!
Am I alone in my rant? My fear is that somehow, someway, these items made to improve our sex lives will end up on the aisle in supermarkets or drugstores nationwide at a discounted price, begging to be purchased.
Even worse, some products that we NEVER see all year, mysteriously pop up like the Ove Glove and the Chia Pet. What the heck?! (lol)
Right??? Everything is so sexed up, I can't even listen to some of the songs with my kid. And I'm a liberal as it is, still I'm shocked by the blatant display of bits!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you on that one, Braine. Music is definitely not like it used to be from back in the day. Hugs...
DeleteLOL I had no idea. I don't have tv so haven't seen infomercials in years and years. I've wondered more and more lately at how we're all going. Songs like Braine mentioned and what people wear, how they behave. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteYou're super lucky that you don't have to see all those commercials streaming across the tv late at night, Anna! (lol) Some are just crazy! I wonder what it will be like 10 years from now. Hugs...
DeleteI don't watch infomercials, so I probably haven't seen the ones you mention, Ro... However, I think that most of the time, there are women used as sex-objects to sell anything and everything...

You're not missing a thing, Lexxie! (lol) Hugs...
DeleteLOL. Shamwow.
ReplyDeleteHey Joy, I'm telling you, that Shamwow guy was something else! (lol) But I'd rather tsee him the sexomercials! Hugs...
DeleteIt does seem that things are headed that way. I hate that there has to be a little price sticker slapped on everything. LOL! Cracked up at your 'product' pics.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, Sophia! Some of those pics are amazing! Hope your Sunday is going well! Hugs...Ro
DeleteI'm never up past 9pm, so look what I'm missing! My mother-in-law used to be a bit of a TV shopper. She bought us an Ove Glove, along with a Snuggie (including the free flashlight!) and all kinds of other odd gadgets. Usually you could tell what you'd get for Christmas by whatever was hot in infomercials that year. For some reason she stopped buying that stuff when her husband died and she remarried. Maybe he doesn't let her!
ReplyDeleteWow! It's good to know that you're getting some rest AND staying away from all that madness! OMG - that's too funny!!! I've never met anyone who actually owned the Ove Glove. (lol) Hugs to your mom-in-law!
DeleteI don't pay attention to the infomercials or ever buy anything that I see on them. My bought bought a few things when she was alive and they were all junk, ended up in the garbage.
ReplyDeleteLOL! You're not missing a thing, Mary! Hugs...
