...would love to see a spoof commercial where Billy Mays does a pitch for "Miracle Ear" where as soon as the ME user turns on the thing and Billy opens his mouth, their friggin' head explodes... Is it just me, or would that be entertaining?

Stuff like this comes to me at the wierdest times...

I like to hit the MUTE button when he is on...and just watch his facial expressions and hand gestures.

Check out what he does with his hands/arms the whole time he pitches a product...it's hilarious!
He does all these Kung Fu/Ti Chi moves!!! laugh

Let me take a wild guess: he's single! HEY HONEY HAVE YOU SEEN MY GOOD PANTS? Bang! body falls to the floor... Yet he makes a living doing this stuff and no doubt laughs his arse off on the way to the bank. The one ad I mute instantly is the hated "there's an APP for that" for one of those goofy phones.

thu Well, I think it's time to do a little video producing there, Boggs.
Might be a good break from guitar crafting, at times.

Infomercials - the curse of insomniacs at 3 AM!
Of course, I COULD practice my electric without the amp, or something......

What's so funny to me is that your clever potato peeler (and all other gadgets) is somehow AMAZING! I don't doubt it's a good potato peeler... but is it going to revolutionize my life in the kitchen...... or OUTSIDE the kitchen......

I think a Billy Mays/Mike Tyson bout would be a HUGE PPV event! With the Sham Wow Guy/Laila Ali for the opener!

Yeah, you guys are all in T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

Just like those "Final Destination" movies. All the original posters are going to "get it"...one-by-one. And ya'll though MJ and Farah was just the start....muhahahahahha!!!!!!!

You'll be sitting there...watching a commercial, the wind will blow, your iced tea will get knocked over into your amp while you're practicing and ZAPPPPPOOOOO!!!!!!

I'm just glad he went away.

How the good lord chose to send him the message is truly beyond my control. Can't say there's much need for OxyClean up there either.

Freakish timing on this thread!
Makes ya think about the power that's in our hands.
