    Anyone ever look at these during the night and think "Hmmmm... that looks pretty good!".

    Has anyone ever bought anything from an Infomercial? What infomercials really annoy you? What products do you think are total crap?

    I have to admit to being tempted by the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer. It actually looks pretty good! :p

    Anyone one see the one where they have the wrestler jumping on the air bed and a bear rolling around on it. I some how think that advertisment might have crossed a line.

    i'm sorry to say that yes I have seen one and was very tempted to buy it., It was this power washer thing for cleaning ovens, floors, nooks and crannies and was particually good for cleaning up the grout in between tiles. I still think it would be great.

    I have never seen anything useful on them. Knives that cut through frozen food, stean buggys, inflatable mattresses, total body workout cycle/ski things. All rubbish.

    But wait theres more.

    If you have Sky Digital there are loads of channels just selling this crap 24 hours a day.

    Yeah, that bed sure will come in handy when I have a bear over for a slumper party!

    Yeah some of them seem like good ideas, even possibly worth having...but I still wouldn't be @rsed buying anything...unless it was a program to make me a millionaire in 6 easy lessons.

    ROFL! :D

    I was tempted with one of those Ab-belts that claim to tone your stomach, but I don't think I'd bother. Exercise is cheaper. :rolleyes:

    There's one of those on at the mo (no dancing bears (or Simon Smith for those who remember Muppet songs)) but for some reason they're playing the Superman theme tune every time they show the bed. Hope John Williams is getting his cut.

    (ooh, I lie. Just had the wrestler AND the bear)
