As Seen on TV Culinary Crap Gadget Peddlers.

Yeah- that damned Billy Macy... although I like to look at his rugged bearded handsome-ness... he's sure a screamer! What the hellz that all about? Only ones who scream more on TV are that fake annoying steroid-injecting buffed-up work-out dude who wears the hat with the fake pony-tail... or that crew-cutted/flat-top dudette Susan Powter who screamed "Stop The Madness!" at the top of her lungs for years. (at least Richard Simmons has finally piped-down somewhat, though! Jeez- what's with the OUT-GAGIOUS-ness?)

Whatever happened to that sensible idea on the old seventies perfume commercial that said: "If You Want To Capture Someone's Attention- WHISPER..."?

Basic rule of advertising: If you want to capture peoples attention the ad has to be either very good or very obnoxious.

Being as the level of advertising talent is all but non-existent, lately, they are forced to go the obnoxious route.

It's a sad indictment of the American public that it works. Billy is either the #2 or #3 (depends who's counting) salesman in media today.
 
I hate that guy!! What an annoying piece of crap HE is!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that loud-mouthed jerk Mays was on TV at 3 this morning peddling health insurance and was goddamn screaming at the top of his lungs!!!!!!!!!

Does it take THAT much yelling and screaming to advertise a product or service?!!!!!

This guy is so goddamn annoying until it's not even funny any more!!!! What a jackass!!!!! For Pete's sakes, I truly wish that he would go find another line of work, such as picking up dog crap on the sidewalks!!! Wouldn't have to hear that aggravating loud voice invading my TV's at all!!!!!!!!!

Oh no you did not.....:mad: shame on you for knocking one of my favorite motivators...For shame, shame, shame:D Even my fiance can't stand him, well to each their own!!! I actually had a trip in an Ambulance one time and stitches in my head once I reached the ER from being in a hurry and not wanting to miss a minute of my morning workout with Richard Simmons!!!:) He has an empathy and compassion for over-weight folks and I love his bubbly up-beat self:)

Proving once again, Cathy, that one man's blizzard is another man's ski trip.
 
Yeah, Simmons also did the infommercials about the Supposed weight loss Sweating to the Odies videos.
 
Did them, Big Daddy?

He's still doing them, with a volume 2 or some such.

Incredible how that man just keeps going, and going, and.....
 
I wouldn't have known because I don't watch any of those annoying and friggen aggravating paid programs!!

All they're on the air for is to con and rape people for their hard-earned money, wasting up and monopolizing valuable TV airtime!!

I got MUCH BETTER things to watch.

I'm not knocking the man if that is what he wants to do, but come on now, how much more of this paid program crap can people stomach?

Some of those channels and or networks carry this crap from about 3am to about 9 or 10am - well over the time allotment that should be allowed, as far as I'm concerned!!!
 
Some of them actually run nothing but infomercials, 24/7

The all time worst has to be the regularly scheduled "show" in which these two broads are selling adult toys. No S!

First time I came across that I had to double check that I hadn't cued up a porn station by mistake.

That is so gross, I can not believe they put that on reg. TV stations. I believe TV has declined so much it is almost worthless. I am glad I am asleep at night and don't watch it! My whole of maybe 1 1/2 hrs in the AM and another 1 maybe 2 hours in the evening really is more than enough of it. I can't stomache most the garbage anyways!!! I like HGTV and FN best but even they get old and repetitive.

Whereas reading it is so much better!!!!!!! And no ADS:D:):D Hip-hip-hooray!!!!!!!!
 
It comes on real late in the wee hours when the children are sleeping so they don't see any of it.

Nevertheless, I don't watch that crap either! Then there are those blasted phone sex commercials that time of night, which are also aggravating!!

If I wanted any of that stuff, I'd go in town and pick up a hooker first, but I'm not into that either. It's just so stupid the crap that's put on TV to get peoples' money!!!
 
I know that's for sure BigD!

Well where have ya' been, I was thinking you ran off and joined the Peace Corps man:) But maybe you just needed a rest from typing!!!

Glad you're back go check out "Leftover Lou" he's our new appointed Mascott!
 
Ok, thanks.

I've been at other websites and forums, and I was away last weekend for my birthday in Providence. Glad to be back!
