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. Steve |

Steve 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. |

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

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. -- aem sends... |

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. Steve |
