Today's Pet Peeve 28 May 09
Products that tout, " As seen on TV! " as if that is the best endorsement ever. It just means it was advertised on television. Geez!

oh that is for the bright folks out there who wanted to purchase the item - such Sham WoW- but didn't want to do so off TV ( TV shopping still has a stigma stuck to it ). So now those brilliant folks can see that it is the same ShamWOW they saw on TV and not an imitator. 
Doesn't stop it from being annoying though. I find it awfully funny, why buy off TV from those fast sell quick pitch informacials when in a few months it will be in the "As Seen On TV" areas in store near you.

well at least you didn't pay shipping and handling. 
our local TV news showed a cusumer test on that thing and had the same results... disappoiting. They even showed how easily the infomercial does tricks to make you think it just picked up the mess easily without any force.  |

Someone said that to me the other day, "didn't I just see you on TV"? I said "no I don't work either".
AliceT, I thought you said one time that you didn't watch TV.
