I hate it when commercials say "This product is NOT available in shops, and limited quantities are available!" That limited quantities thing is so obviously bullshit - why would they bother making an entire commercial if they only had "limited quantities"? Also, if the product is so good - why aren't the companies supplying it to the shops? Surely more people would buy it there than off the TV...
Sigh, the only people stupider than the companies who advertise on informercials are the people who buy stuff from them... I mean, how gullable can you get?

"Call within the next 10 minutes and recieve this free possum!" 1 - Everything is in limited quantiities. Nothing is in unlimited quantities. Least, nothing that can be bought and sold. 2 - Because it's a profitable way to advertise their junk without going to the trouble of producing and distributing it nationwide to millions of stores. Plus it'll reach people who don't shop around all the time. And if the product works really well, then they want to show you it in action, rather than just one box among many on the store shelf. 3 - It's "gullible" edit - 4 - TV forum.

I don't know anyone who's gone "Oh look at my wonderful new body thanks to my ab belt". And the models are quite clearly athletes/bodybuilders with years experience. Actually, I think I've figured that ab belt thing out. You strap it to your chest, it send its vibrations out, your stomach gets upset, you throw up, therefore you lose weight. (I'm probably way off on that, but I'm not going to let it stand in the way of my joke.)
