If you should happen to find yourself staying up all night long like I’ve done just now, you might think, “ech, I’m not in the mood for the commitment that is required from a movie” and you’ll decide you’ll just watch television. You should be warned that unless you have really good channels in your television package you may be stuck with…
The most inane infomercials that play at Dark O’Clock:
- Ab exercise programs that require no diet changes, no actual exercise, but will give you a six-pack belly if you put some vibrating, shimmying belt device on. Riiight.
- Religious “healers”.
- Really long medication infomercials for cholesterol or blood pressure treatment.
- Amazing handy dandy super chopper thingy. Okay, well actually I kind of want that one.
- Phone sex. “Call. Call NOW.”
- Male enhancement pills, of course. What would the night be without them?
- Dr. Phil-esque ego boosting programs.
- Colon cleansers. Yummy, right before breakfast!
Have you ever bought anything from an infomercial? I never have but I’m not even kidding about wanting that chopping thing!
Two and a half hours left!

I did buy a set of CD’s. Well, I played them a couple of times. I guess the songs they play in the actual infomercial are all the relatively well known ones that are on there. The rest, ok, maybe they were 80’s songs if you bought a “best of the 80’s” boxed CD set, but let’s just say I heard better 80’s songs.
I did buy ‘similar’ products in actual stores which were much cheaper but I guess I only needed those because I’d seen the infomercial. In fact I still miss that pillow and may buy another one sometime soon. It was a good pillow. (Doh, shouldn’t be talking to you about pillows right now)
I’m kind of thinking there was one other thing, that I bought a very long time ago, but I can’t seem to remember what it was.
