seeing as i feel that no one is out there, i am going to say a few things! i hate spinach. take that. i don't like to . . . get up in the mornings. ha! yeah, do you really want to get me started on this? too late sucker. i'm on a roll. i can't stand the sound of fingers scraping on a chalkboard. (that one got ya didn't it? be honest.) the mere thought of really breaking a nail makes me nauseous. remember that commercial for lotion? anyone . . . anyone? well, there was this horrid slow motion shot of a nail breaking trying to open a soda can, and i seriously could not watch that commercial. it made me want to hurl. i get the chills just thinking about it now. speaking of commercials (my ADD is kicking in so there is no telling where this is going.)
i am the biggest sucker for infomercials!! i love them, and must have everything they are trying to sell me. my brother and i feel that ron popeil is our surrogate father, since we grew up and saw him about as much as our dad, which was a lot. hair in a can, what kind of genius is that, i mean, you spray it and it looks like hair! who does not need that. and the knife sets. i have always wanted to cut through my shoe and then a tomato. and they just seem to be getting better and better. have you seen the one called "the magic bullet"? this new blender thing that blends into the cup, so you don't have that sloppy mess of trying to transfer your drink. you know, pouring. pouring is really difficult. i could never be a waitress. i would constantly spill things on people trying to pour from over their shoulder. the lamest infomercials are the ones that try to disguise themselves as regular commercials. you know they just don't have the money to buy the full time slot. you get a short view of the product and then phone numbers and "CALL NOW!" flashing on the screen. there is no communication, no audience to "ooh" and "ahh" at the product.
i have to feel for my product and the 30 seconds to two minute spot is just not giving me enough time. i have got to have a host who cannot go two sentences without saying "that's incredible" or "can you believe it". the ones with accents are the best. i know this makes me sound a bit insane, but so what if i am. obviously there are others out there with my same need for the infomercial. otherwise they wouldn't be on the air. really, my dream is to be in the audience and to get to try the product. i have wonderful facial expressions. watch . . . that was happy . . . that was amazed, and here comes the best one of all . . . shocked and amazed!

that is why i love you so very much!! thank you honey.
Okay... I'm out here in blog world and now that I know your blog address, I'll read and comment lots! And do you know what I hate? I hate it when in commercials, tv shows, movies, etc. you can hear people walking. That "feet hitting the pavement/floor sound"... HATE IT! There is a commercial right now for a phone company where a man walks all the way across a warehouse with this LOUD "feet hitting the floor sound". It drives me bonkers! I understood when they used that sound during the "radio soap opera" days, but on tv and the movies? GEESH!
I also love infomercials. I especially love ones that are selling make-up or anything to do with beauty. I actually ordered Pro-activ of off an infomercial (it words, btw). I would adore a knife set; the guy who sells them (the little chubby guy with the chef's outfit and moustache), he is too cute.
