I hate infomercials.

With a passion.

I can be asleep before an infomercial begins and subconsciously hear the television yapping at me to ‘ORDER NOW!‘ or suggesting I make ‘THREE EASY PAYMENTS!‘ and I cringe.

In my sleep!

I honestly have to change the channel when one comes on.

I believe they are the biggest waste of time evah.

I’ve never seen something on an infomercial and, at two in the morning, thought, “Holy crap, I need that now!”

In fact, I have never ever watched an infomercial that compelled me to reach for the telephone.  Ever.

I will admit that I have bought several items, at the store, that are clearly marked, “as seen on tv’.

Have I seen them on TV?  I doubt it.

Does the big ‘as seen on tv’ signage on the box draw my attention to the item I’m considering purchasing?

No.

Not at all.

Why, you ask?

Because, I HATE INFOMERCIALS!

I do anything within my power to avoid these television time wasters.

And, after giving you this new information to ponder and process, I bid you adieu.
