My wife fancies herself an actress (She's not) and she's decided she wants to go into infomercials. "Dear, you don't want to do that," I explained. When she explained why, I told her that all they do is insult the people in the commercials.
"Here's a good example," I said, pointing to a new commercial for Derma Wand. "They show this poor woman and say that her skin " 'appears dull and tired.' The last time I told you that you look tired, you hit me with a pillow and made me sleep on the couch.

"Now with this lady, they're saying Derma Wand will 'remove her bags, folds and wrinkles.' Remember when you asked me if you have wrinkles? Remember my utter fear about answering the question? Now do you want this announcer pointing out YOUR bags, folds and wrinkles? If they existed, I mean."
I continued as she was mulling this over: "Now look at this one scene where a female doctor is gently caressing her female patient's face with her fingers. Notice the pleased grin on the patient's face. If you get Derma Wand, you don't get that special treatment from a beautiful female doctor."
"That's YOUR fantasy, not mine," she scolded me. Oh yeah, that's right.
We continued watching the commercial. I was a little confused why they go on and on about how easy the Derma Wand is to use and then mention that it includes a DVD that shows how to use it.
I did manage to talk my wife out of going into commercials. But now she decided she DOES want the Derma Wand. And who am I to talk her out of using something that will get rid of her wrinkles.
Not that she has any, mind you.
