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).

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.
