Infomercial stupidity
Was watching some infomercial about some product they have that will help you make trades (forget the name exactly). They mentioned being able to make 10% a month consistently, then 30 seconds later had a women mention that she's gonna buy her next house with cash.
Doesn't this sound counterintuitive? Does anyone else love watching these just to see how lame they are?

Re: Infomercial stupidity
Slight hijack, but I couldn't believe how much revenue some of these infomercial infoproducts generate. I read in The 4-Hour Workweek that one top infomercial infoproduct (didn't name it) generated $65 million in revenue last year with only 20 or so employees. Pretty sick business model.

I don't think blackjack dealers or slot machine mechanics lose any sleep at nite when casino marketting is much more [censored] than most of this [censored]. Same goes for lawyers that defend obviously guilty molesters and rapists. That being said they really need to regulate that [censored] better. [censored] scum.

If you think this is immoral, you ain't seen nothing yet.
