Adnausea

Getting up quite early, when I flip on the tee vee while waiting for the "Daily Show/Colbert Report" tape to rewind (yeah, I'm so 90s) I see a number of infomercials or long-form tv ads.

Something disturbing is happening.

Not only is Billy Mays pushing "Orange Clean", but he pushes wall mounting equipment, furniture, and hamburger utilities. Should the guy who sells 'Orange Clean' be bragging about his fabulous burger recipe?

But wait, that's not all:

The 'Sham-Wow' guy, still wearing the idiotic headset, is selling a handheld cutting and dicing machine. Oh, I hope it's made by Germans.

And then there is the unctuous guy with the plainly small-penis who leers through the "Extenz" fake-talk show. Where they "magically" find folks on the street willing to say they needed their wangs to be wangier. He's doing stand up commercials for "mortgage solutions" and, unbelievably, electric fireplaces made by THE AMISH.

Electric fireplaces...made by the Amish? And sold by the guy who says you should take a pill to make your dick larger?

Truly, America is a wondrous place indeed.
