D##n Infomercials

So, yesterday afternoon, I was looking for something to watch on the satellite dish. Anything, something.....I started to run the guide on the screen and while I know there are numerous stations that do nothing but sell crap, I notice there is one infomercial being played on numerous stations.

It's that " Get Better Sex? " or "Want Better Sex?"  or some variance of "Sex"

It is a doctor who I assume is doing it for a big check, and a couple of other people who we're suppose to know, but we don't, pushing some sort of herbal remedy  to cure all of your sexual problems. I look and this crap is on 8 stations have ....8.....that's right 8.....They are pushing this product by saying, "if you order this from us, you don't have to be embarrassed by speaking to your doctor."

So, we're talking about some sort of Cialis, Viagra type product.

Does this really need to be sold at all hours of the day on TV? Rather than at 1 pm, shouldn't this be sold at 1 am?

I don't know why, but it reminds me of my first couple of years at Buna. We had a Supt. of Schools who had teachers involved in a catalog fund raiser. ( I've never been involved in since....and wasn't before.)

The superintendent apparently didn't really read the catalog, because in the back pages were "female stress relief massage products" and what we called in the old days, " hard-on pills."
