Stretch Genius Genie

Have you seen the commercials recently for the Stretch Genie?  Stretch Genie


I keep seeing them while I'm watching awesome shows like "Keeping Up With the Kardashians".  And then I start thinking, if I'm watching the same show as the targeted audience of people who don't know just to buy shoes that fit right in the first place, then I'm probably stupid, or actively becoming stupider.

While it just strikes me as very stupid that someone would need this for their loafers or heels (I mean, seriously, just buy the right size), the glove application of this product downright scares me.

O.J. Simpson ring a bell, anyone?  Sure, "the glove didn't fit".  But did anyone check to see if the Juice was stashing bottles of Stretch Genie in his glove box?!

There are some inventions that are really just un-inventions.  Inventing a product that stretches shoes that are too small is the same as inventing shoes that fit.  But the latter was done centuries ago and the former cost an additional $9.99.

Peek-a-Boo



I saw this infomercial on TV and had a nice little chuckle. Seriously, what will they think of next?!

Introducing the Peek-A-Blouse...you know...because wearing a real shirt is hard.

For the bargain price of $10, you can get 4 of these quarter-shirts, plus a surprise gift. I'm tempted to order this just so I can see what the surprise gift is. Maybe just the top part of a sock, so people will know you are sophisticated enough to wear socks, without you having to actually go through the hassle of putting the whole cumbersome thing on your foot.

On an serious even more ridiculous note, can you even imagine a guy's reaction if you were to go back to his place, seductively take off your uber-sexy cardigan, only to reveal what is essentially a bib with buttons on it.

I'm afraid that, even after all of Justin Timberlake's hard work, you would end up setting sexy back about 4 decades.

Stop having a boring tuna, Stop having a boring life.




You simply must check out this list of the 25 worst/best infomercials.


I couldn't really decide on a favorite to highlight, but I am leaning toward Cami Secret, because it kindly allows you to be a professional by day, and whore by night.

I also really like the Doc Bottoms Aspray, because, let's be honest, no one likes beastly butt odor.
