I love infomercials. The Shamwow guy cracks me up every time, and you can’t help but love the family jumping up and down in their Snuggies at the ball game. But, I think this one is my new favorite.
I just can’t get over how funny this infomercial is. It actually seems like this product is covertly promoting eavesdropping and spying. My personal favorite part is when the announcer says “You can easily hear sounds that other people can’t, and even hear conversations from clear across the room!” They might as well come out and say “Hey, have you always wanted to eavesdrop and spy on everything that other people are saying? Well then here’s the product for you!” I don’t know whether to laugh at whoever buys it, or be creeped out that people might have it.

And don’t get me started on the Sham WOW guy… “Call within the next 20 minutes because you know we can’t do this all day!” Do people really fall for that???

Haha, I love the ShamWow guy. People do fall for it, otherwise they wouldn’t continue having mindlessly wowing commercials
But I do agree, the bluetooth imitator creeps me out. I’m definitely going to be more paranoid around those folks who wear their blueteeth all the time–it just might be a super hearing aid!

Oh but it is supposed to look just like a cell phone hands free device! No one will ever suspect you are listening to every word they are saying…. another example of unknowingly living under a microscope …you never know who is watching OR LISTENING!
