Blingeez: Infomercial Review

Is keeping your jewelry from getting tangled really that big of a problem? I just can’t say that I have ever seen a situation quite like the one in the Blingeez infomercial. The women looked very frustrated in deed but it just seemed like it was over some thing that is simple, if you ask me of course, but then again I don’t wear too much jewelry. I will tell you one thing though, the little girl in the infomercial that is the gymnast who is hanging her medals, I am assuming to show the versatility of the Blingeez, on the Blingeez is looking way too happy to have medals hung up in her closet. I am all for hanging you medals on the wall, it gives you a sense of accomplishment, but to hang it up in the closet, how could you ever brag to your little friends if they never see your medals, honestly, lets just think these types of thing through.

So you think that the Blingeez isn’t for you because your like me and don’t wear any jewelry. Well, let me say that you are wrong. I guess I am like any other average American when it comes to misplacing things. (Probably more because I am human and prone to mistakes) Things that are important like my keys. I hate it sometimes when I am rushing out the door with everything in my hands just to stop and ask myself, “Where are my keys?” If I had Blingeez then I would always know because then I would actually have a place to put them. You see, Blingeez is very versatile and almost anyone could find a use for it.

AB CIRCLE: Infomercial Review

Sometimes I get the feeling that people who advertise exercise devices on late night TV just don't live in the real world. Take the commercial for AB CIRCLE as just one example.

Don't get me wrong, this is not an attack on the product itself. In fact, I know two people who own an AB CIRCLE and they both assure me that this is the best piece of exercise equipment they've ever bought. The Ab Circle is this device you place on the ground with part of it that swings back and forth in a semi-circle. You use that rotating part to perform various exercises. I've seen one of my friends using it, and I'm impressed by it (and him).

Watch Video

But the producers of the commercial have invented some mythical world that doesn't exist. They show all these fat people and then they show them again after using the Ab Circle. Miraculous results. Yet they never show the fat people using the machine! Who uses the machine? Thin, fit people who DON'T NEED TO USE THE MACHINE. Why can't we ever see the fat slobs using the product to get into shape?

I say that, by the way, as a fat slob myself. And as such, I kind of know why they don't show it. I know how ridiculous I would look, belly slapping back and forth and as I rotate on the AB CIRCLE. I suppose I wouldn't want people to see that--and probably neither would the others.

But then again, I also don't want to see a fat lady pinching the fat first on her belly, and then on her back. And yet they subject me to that torture--and her to that humiliation.

I guess some humiliation is ok, as long as it's not seen in the context of the machine itself.

TITAN PEELER: Infomercial Review

I'm always fascinated by the names they give to products that are sold on those late-night infomercials. For instance, do you remember the GINSU KNIFE? I'm positive that no American knows what 'ginsu" means, but just think it sounds Japanese. And for some reason, maybe pertaining to samurais and ninjas, we think of sharp blades when we think of Ginsus. There was also the Veg-a-Matic, which did indeed slice vegetables, but since it was totally hand-powered, there was nothing automatic about it.

And now we have the Titan Peeler. "Titan" means "giant; big and powerful." So of course, one of the selling points of Titan Peeler is that it's so....SMALL and easy-to-handle. Makes perfect sense in infomercial-land.

Watch Video

This is one of several infomercial items I have personally bought. I did it because I'm lazy and Titan Peeler does a great job of slicing and peeling things in considerably less time. But I bought it before I saw the commercial. Good thing, because the commercial would not have caused me to buy.

For starters, I'm insulted by their having this guy with an Australian accent promoting the product. In fact, more and more people think that British or Australian accents are good for selling food products. Am I, because I'm American, considered inept in the kitchen? (I'm a total expert with the microwave).

But the one part of the commercial that I like is the question that opens it: "Do you want to peel and slice vegetables in an instant?" To which I reply, "No, I don't want to peel and slice them at all."

But since NOT peeling them is not an option, doing it faster is better than nothing. And that's why I love the Titan Peeler. Because laziness is my curse.

Brazilian Secret: Infomercial Review

I consider my self to be a great, non-shallow, albeit nice guy. Most guys out there will probably say that about themselves as well. However, to be perfectly honest, a woman’s figure is still a huge part in how attractive other people find her. I know how bad that sounds, but when you go out to a bar, people don’t notice how personable you are from across the way. That part comes later. It all starts with a quick up and down glance that sparks interest, at least from the man’s point of view.

I however try not to do this too much. If my girlfriend were to catch me looking around (just looking) I would be in big trouble. Anyways, I feel I am off topic. My favorite thing physically on my girlfriend would have to be, well, her butt. It just kinda drives me crazy. Without getting too descriptive, she looks really good in jeans. But for some reason, women, no matter how beautiful, can always nit pick and come up with flaws that aren’t really there. Especially with makeup. She does not need to wear makeup, but she says it makes her feel better about herself. Doesn’t really make sense to me, but I am a guy. I was finally getting over the makeup thing when she comes home with this thing called the Brazilian Secret. Some special type of panty that lifts the caboose a bit and gives a more round appearance. I told her how much I liked the way she looked with out it, but then she tried them on for me. As my eyes got a little bigger than normal, I was, lets say pleasantly surprised with how well these panties worked.

I feel I musts restate what I have already said. I found no problems with how my girlfriend looked before and I don’t consider my self to be shallow. In fact I think she is gorgeous. However, the Brazilian Secret underwear is amazing. I would say the inventor of these panties ranks right up there with the inventor of the push up bra. I bet these guys get men buying them drinks all the time.

WATER JET: Infomercial Review

I wonder if anyone actually ever has that dirty of a garage door? Seriously, watch the infomercial. I know they are just trying to show the handiness and the versatility of the Water Jet, but really. Has anyone ever seen a lawn chair that dirty, or have fake shutters that get that dusty? Plus, I think they could have come up with some better ideas then just washing off your wheels on your car or your windows because everything they did in this infomercial I could have done simply by placing my thumb firmly over the nozzle of the hose and adjust the pressure accordingly, and you know what is the best part about the thumb over the nozzle method. It is free. Even if I was unfortunate enough to lose one, nature has seen fit to grace me with a spare. Although if you are missing a thumb I bet there is a great story behind that and I would love to hear it.

Watch Video

I digress, the Water Jet does do a few things though that my thumb cannot. It at least appears that the Water Jet will help you clean your patio cracks really well. I don’t think that no matter how much I tried, I could ever get enough pressure built up to constrict the water flow so tightly that it would clean out the cracks in concrete. They got me beat on that front.

And let me bring up one more point though for those old school thumbers like me out there. With all this global warming that is happening and conservation that should be taking place, I believe that the thumb over the nozzle trick is a little more wasteful then the Water Jet ever could be. So does saving water, or maybe more importantly saving money on my water bill, really matter when were talking twenty bucks for the Water Jet? I would have the answer that with a yes, yes it is.
