Sumbitch. I never liked the guy before this video. Guess he was an
okay Joe, just used his schtick to make dough. And he did it well. I
imagine he was pretty well fixed with the TV shows and all.

The folks who contributed to the small mountain of complaints about some of
his products maybe have a different view of it. IMO being an okay Joe
doesn't include selling stuff that doesn't work or causes more problems than
it fixes, or failing to live up to the warranty, or that involves making
unauthorized charges on people's credit cards and so on.

I never watched his ads; just navigated away when he started that
phony
yelling. Yelling is not the way to sell to moi. RIP, and sorry for
his
family, but I wasn't a fan.


I agree- he found a legal hustle and ran with it. Does anybody with a
3-digit IQ actually expect stuff on a hosted TV ad or infomercial to be
anything BUT crap? Or the companies to be top-shelf on ethics and
business practices? Before TV, they were called Carnie Barkers, or
traveling snake oil salesmen. I also changed the channel or hit the mute
whenever he came on.
