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.

longer have to mute him every 10 minutes. What a sad, sad loss, and
the gay community will miss him the most......


Nah, his good looking wife and 4 year old daughter probably will.

Sounds like an average Joe to me. Any more crooked, and he'd be a
politician.

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.

Well, I think that anyone with a two digit IQ would agree that he was a
barker, and smiled every time he picked up his paycheck. There must have
been a niche for things he sold. I could fill a garage with things I have
purchased in my life that were impulse items, sold by a barker, stupid
purchases, or just plain crap. He was good at what he did, and that was to
get people to send in money.
