As Seen on TV

My closet is crowded, but I'm not ever in a million years hiring one of these Closet Consultants who come over to your house and build a bunch of teak and mahogany shelves so that Barry Gibb and Jennifer Lopez can sit on my bed and be bored.

Do these things work?



According to a commenter on YouTube, it's all a bunch of lies; a swindle of the most diabolical nature.

Wonder Hangers are wonderful when you first hang your clothes. But they are made of plastic and will NOT hold up. They soon begin to stretch and even break under the weight of the clothes -- even clothes that aren't heavy. Plus, the processing and handling fee is exorbitant. It's a scam to get your money. I am ashamed aboutt how much I wound up paying. I have heard that QVC and Target have much better metal hangers for the money.


Maybe instead of making everything fit better in my closet, I should just get rid of my Bee Gees leisure suits and disco polyester pants, my padded rugby shirts and Robert Plant bell-bottomed jeans, my MC Hammer balloon pants and Micheal Jackson admiral coats with the scrub-brush epaulets, my Joan Jett leather pants and collection of Simon Cowell too-tight shirts, my Muammar Qaddafi khakis and Ahmadinejad imitation Member's Only jackets, my Pete Wentz ball-hugger jeans and David Hasselhoff shirts that only button to the mid-chest.

Nah.

"His Confident Smile and Kind Eyes"

It's not quite a painting of Elvis on black velvet, but I suspect that's coming soon. We're striving for new lows in American kitsch with this gem - and this gem of a production from The American Historic Society. To have been assigned this abomination of a script to read would be pure torture. Behold, "The Victory Plate."

Wizard Robes For The Whole Family

Or you can just pretend you're a Jedi...or a monk

Grandpa looks especially mysterious in his easy-chair, studying his Book of Sorcery.

And this lengthy spot has that classic yet highly ridiculous set-up style: "Don't you just hate the hassle of blankets?"

What is it About This Spokesman That Isn't Trustworthy?

I'll give you a hint: he looks like the kind of guy who would run for President and lie about cheating on his wife while fathering the child of some pretend documentary filmmaker lady and then deny fathering the child.



1975 called. They want their feathered hair back.
