Muckraker  Posts: 308 Joined: 14 Aug 2008     | I saw that commercial...it was like an over-sized robe turned around backwards... Sham-wow. A chamois is a chamois is a chamois, fer chrissakes...unfortunately, my wife was suckered in... Also, anything Billy Mays sells that isn't Oxy Clean. Chef Tony, avoid the fucker like the plague. EDIT I watch way too much bad television. |

I found that the old man lounging around in his chair was comical. Like a cult leader in his day off. Back on hand: Does anyone remember those knives that were sold in the 1970s(I saw an old ad), something like banzi or something. Those apparently don't work well. |

"No more flippin' and floppin'." Looks so stupid. I have only seen it on youtube though, we don't get Billy Mays in Australia. |

Damn, you know you suck at your job when you make sharp bits of metal that don't work well. I'm going to site Cracked's Magnescribe Pen, for being an absurdly clunky, thirty-dollar pen you have to wear around your neck to demonstrate your poor judgement to the world. |

That was fucking hilarious. Like the SNL skit for the Jar Glove, but an actual product. |

Paperboy  Posts: 34 Joined: 19 Nov 2008   | Along with the snuggie commercials which are extremely annoying, I am also put off by the commercials for the "Ped Egg" which is an egg shaped, foot scraper/corn remover. I just don't get it. |

That is exactly what it fucking is. It's a huge robe turned backwards, and anyone stupid enough to buy it needs to be shot. Twice. User was banned for: When will the beast just die? EDIT. (Permanent) |

I don't get it either, partly because I don't see why people would be looking at your feet, let alone the soles of your feet. |

I was going to say the clapper and agree with Molten Discharge, but, instead, this gets my vote. |

Ah-ha, but I never said where they should be shot. There's hardly any point in punishing someone for stupidity if they die instantly. User was banned for: When will the beast just die? EDIT. (Permanent) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2732 Joined: 3 Dec 2008   | The reason that I don't say anything about Vince and his product endorsement is because of how shitty his life has been. He was originally trying to make connections and make a film through scientology and its connections. Some higher-ups decided basically to start to a smear campaign on him and blacklisted him within the religion. All his friends, connections and jobs were part of that. Then he became a Sham Wow salesman, starting at the bottom, now he's the spokesperson. I actually have a degree of respect for the guy. |
Paperboy Posts: 12 Joined: 27 Jun 2008    | i know i might get chewed out for this one, but as George Carlin once said: "i heard they were coming out with disposible douche, and what i want to know is, who would keep it in the first place?!?" its true though, words and names we give to products are becoming less and less relevent to the actual purpose. Eventually, everything will be called the "super jumbo deluxe!" just goes to show you, media is retarded. T Mad |

I was just on another thread where the Snuggie was brought up. Essentially, it's a blanket with sleeves. The ad promises that you won't need to expose your arms to the cold to turn the pages while lying under a blanket.
Which leads to the question: What are the stupidest or shoddiest products you have ever seen or used? Tell your funny story or warn your fellow Escapists about shoddy products to avoid.
