INFO ON INFOMERCIALS
This site is to help you avoid purchasing an EXPENSIVE LEMON.
I think this quote best describes infomercials, "Promise them hope and ship them shit".
Many infomercials stretch the truth to the absolute limit possible by law.
An example; numerous abdominal machines provide a money back guarantee, 'if you don't loose XX pounds in 30 days'. They don't tell you that their
machine doesn't help you loose one ounce of fat around the waste line, "You have to follow a special diet to do that !". It is well known that
exercising the muscles under the fat does not reduce the fat above them. So few people return the equipment that it is a good way to convey
the image of credibility.
Have you ever asked yourself "Is that really true?, is it that good?".
But your reservations were put to rest by the credibility of their "paid" experts. Well your reservations are often true. Any person who is paid to sell will
perform to the best of their ability. Don't be fooled by their hype. Look at what they are selling and make your own judgement.
Those audiences are they for real ?
Yes, their performance improves as their pay improves. "I still think they look doped out ?"
In Summary.
Infomercials are not programs aimed at bringing you revolutionary technology to your home. There sole aim is to sell sell sell, and sell.
I have yet to see one exercise machine or diet program (In New Zealand) that measures up to scrutiny. However I have seen some real
good examples of absolute crap.
- $150 diets that you can find in the local library (Under a different Name and with no Hype supplied).
- Next to useless exercise equipment going for $300-$900!!!!.
- Do all exercise equipment that does stuff all.
- And cheap kitchen equipment that will be used for a week before it gathers dust, never to see daylight again.
- Revolutionary New Technology (yeah! About 4 decades ago).
