Crazy TV commercials
So I was sitting there last night, looking at the "Head On" commercial for what feels like the 4,183rd time. They must be selling some of that stuff, otherwise they would have run out of marketing money a long time ago.

Anyway, it got me thinking about all of the ads and infomercials people see every day. Have you ever decided to buy something after seeing commercials for it over and over again? Bonus points if you bought something you never saw in real life, just from the way it looked or worked in the ad.

I used to own a Postal Center and it was very sad to see all the old folk and some younger also who came in to return the junk they had bought on QVC or some other scammer infomercial. I also made money because they would open the stuff and have to pay return postage. My sister is addicted to QVC. She bought some tube that cooks spagetti "IN NO Time AT ALL" amongst other flashy trash. Her latest is getting sucked into stock trading. So far she has invested $20,000. and hasn't even started to do any real trades. I know it is a scam. People are so easily blinded.
