Infomercial lolz

Have you ever analyzed the commercials during a particular television show to figure out what the like demographic of the show is?  There's old people stuff during the news, Capri Sun and PG movies on kids shows, zit commercials during MTV and really manly shit like big fuckin SUVs and shaving gel ads with hot chicks feeling your imagined face during football.

As a person who stays up very late on certain nights watching television, I am accustomed to the uncomfortable reminder, via the advertising, that men who are awake at that time like myself do not have:

A) Girlfriends
B) Any money
C) Large penises
D) Ability to resist really dumb and transparent scams

The other night I saw a particularly fantastic infomercial that told me that I should mail them my gold jewelery in a lockbox in exchange for cash!  I was talking to a friend about how absurd the idea behind this commercial was, and about an hour later I found this site: Infomercial Hell

It has a similar commercial on it, "Cash4Gold." Although it doesn't have the metal and mailable lockbox, check out the woman who tells you that she melted down her wedding ring to sell it:





This site is great, many lolz and a good way to learn about infomercials you've never wasted your time watching.

Be sure to watch this really insane one from China:





I guess they have small-penised losers who stay up late in China as well.

the history channel has a particularly depressing set of ads: motorized wheelchair things, life insurance, and prepaid funerals. i also think BoL should investigate the entirely separate universe of ads that exists on nascar races.

What I like best is that you actually posted this at 10:04 p.m., which leads me to believe that you search infomercial shit during regular awakeness hours. Good luck with your manliness.

Your special wedding can be much less stressful if you hire a wedding planner to help you with all the details.

strange this post is totaly irrelevant to the search query I entered in google but it was listed on the first page.
