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.

You would have be a pretty sick person to not have severe moral qualms about running such a business though.

Heh heh, you must be new to the stock market.

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

The same can be said about most professions though. 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.

How can you even compare lawyers performing a pivotal role within the justice system to these douchebags selling penis pumps.

I guess a better example would have been injury lawyers (who also advertise all over the [censored] place, encouraging people to sue). I don't rank most injury lawyers that much higher than penis pump pushers to be honest.
