Good grief...did he swallow one of those damned rags?

The only "pitchman" on TV I ever liked was (and is) Ron Popeil, mainly
because he really understands how to use the medium to demonstrate
products.

"Ronco"

I was always humored when you could get a $459.00 value for $29.95.

Yep...RONCO. Remember the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, the little plastic
fishing rod and reel? And all the other products, some good, some silly,
some surreal?

The one that scares me is that countertop chicken cooker. It has to get
hot as hades on the outside as well as the inside, and it must be a pain
in the ass to clean, too. I love the cheap knives commerical...there's
enough quality there to slice cleanly through at least one tomato.

I remember the hair spray that was supposed to make thin hair look
thicker....
