Yesterday, while watching "Price is Right," I decided that today I would blog about my favorite infomercial. Now, I know everyone loves the Snuggie (my fiance and I are the proud owners of two), and who doesn't get sucked in to the wonders of The Magic Bullet or the fantastic results of P90X? But I feel there is another product severely underrated when it comes to infomercial entertainment. And last night, while watching "Harper's Island," I realized it's seriously underestimated in importance.
You see, last night on the show, a hard-of-hearing minister was walking through the woods (see 3:31 for the actual clip) in a town where just years ago, seven people were murdered (and, little did he know, two more were killed just the day before, with many more to come). He kept thinking he heard something (a mass murderer, perhaps?), but because his hearing aid didn't work quite as well as he might have liked, he continued walking, thus getting caught in a booby trap set up in the forest. As he hung upside down for just mere seconds, the murderer somehow decapitated him.
Now, for all you hard-of-hearing ministers who walk through forests by yourselves when there is a murderer on the loose, I have a product that has caught my attention on more than one occasion: Loud 'n' Clear.
I know what you might be thinking: "But Emily, I don't ever walk in wooded areas alone. What good can this product do me?" Well, my friends, the simple answer is, "Everything." From eavesdropping on neighbors to hearing what the hottest girls at a party are saying about you, Loud 'n' Clear does it all.
So what about all of you? Has anyone contemplated purchasing this discreet product to make sure you hear your kids' voices so you can make sure they are still alive while you ignore them at a park or to help you hear the bingo caller at your local community center? I'm telling you, if I wasn't unemployed and had a disposable income, this would be my first purchase.
Or is there an infomercial that I'm missing out on and would actually be a better purchase for me?

I bought a loud and clear when Jack was born. Now I can stay inside with him while Claire plays out in the street. I can hear her AND all the cars she dodges! It's amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI love Harpers Island. It's so bad it's good. Or maybe it's just great. Your friend, Lynne.
ReplyDeleteI am shocked that you are ignoring the EZ Comb. It seems the ideal product for a young woman such as yourself. The carmel colored one would be perfect when your hair is just a bit dirty; the black one for when you are very dressed up or you have been much to busy to wash your hair for even longer. And what can I say about the silver and pearl -- does the word wedding mean anything to you?
