I don't get why infomercials are made. Every person actually watching the TV channel when they're aired changes the channel, turns the TV off, or quits paying attention to the TV. Making an infomercial for TV is like making a billboard advertisement at the bottom of the ocean or on Mars, nobody will notuce them.
I don't get why the whole advertising thing hasn't pretty much become extinct. I can see why people wouldn't mind honest offers of stuff for sale, but it gets bundled with so many obvious dirty tricks and distortions of the truth that I have a hard time seeing why the people who pull those stunts don't go out of business.
This guy gives me hope that there is some good sense out there, though to my mind he himself sails close to the wind of dishonesty with his style at times:
