get rid of loose_skin Worst Infomercials of All TimeTom Venuto
Earlier today, Time Magazine online published their list of the “25 Worst (We Mean Best) Infomercials.” At first, I was surprised that only 2 out of 25 infomercials were for exercise / fitness gizmos… until I saw the other 23, which included the “comfort wipe” and the “potty putter.” See which fitness infomercials TIME voted among the worst ever… (among the non-fitness infomercials, I vote for the better marriage blanket… but Aspray and UroClub are a really close second and third)

I think the marketers of shake weight have done a great job. Made a revolting looking product look sort of OK. I'd give it a try (albeit in private ;p) - Enjoyed the "Kick Butt Guarantee" haha!
Hawaii Chair - what a laugh!

HAHAHA!! You made me go look at the Marriage Blanket (pretty bad), the Uroclub (OMG REALLY??? HAHAHA) and the ASpray (#1 on the list for 'bad', hilarious and 'are you freaking serious?')
that was my laugh for the day... well several.
Definitely love the uselessness of the two you posted too... how can people sleep at night selling this stuff for a living?

Shake weight is crazy! He did 240 reps in a few seconds. hehe
I mean, I LOVE a long hard workout but if I knew it could be this fast... I think everyone would be in the best shape of their lives! :)
Over at www.fastflatstomach.com we believe in eating LESS and moving MORE to lose weight...
However, I have never saw girls go around so fast with the Hawaii Chair ;) It was one of the funniest I've seen. The "busy" workplace environments where a laugh!

I was flipping through the channels today and I happened upon the HBO series about the Jets training camp, Hard Knocks. The punter bought a bunch of Shake It weights for the team as a joke. It was hilarious to watch these elite athletes make fun of such a ridiculous product :)
The Hawaii Chair was also great. There are some hilarious youtube videos of Ellen DeGeneres using/making fun of it.
Thanks for this post Tom. You should also check out the Flirty Girl Fitness infomercial. All of these girls are trained dancers of course they look like that!
