The real problem is that men are idiots:  But women are even bigger idiots, so there's no hope for any of us really.

Most of these products are invented for disabled people. Why they choose to market them with able people inexplicably flinging things around I don't know.

Probably because something that definitely doesn't sell handy gadgets is watching a disabled person struggle to put their socks on. A lot of the infomercials are just products that have been available for niche markets that can be used by people who either aren't disabled or not so disabled as to have access to those niche markets. A talking kitchen scale is kind of silly, but for someone with vision problems, it's great.

I would watch a weekly 23 minute sit-com about a family of infomercial people just bumbling through life. "Mom, can you come help me put my shoes on?" *Mom upends the table standing up* "Nevermind, I have them." *Kid falls to ground because laces are tied together* *Dad bursts through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man* "Honey, have you seen the door?"

It's more about how incompetent white people are at everything. I don't think I've seen an infomercial that doesn't star white people as the loving idiots.

Karate Bastard posted:e: oh, how did this get all the way down here? Nm, still applies, so stays. Anyone who has ever been a cashier can do this. It's just a reset and it rectifies itself in about a minute. I'm gonna say that the infomercial items are usually for stupid, obese white people people rather than disabled people, since for the most part setting them up and using them takes more energy than the solution to the original problem.

I'm not sure if this is genius, or just stupid because cats don't really need baths except on the rarest of occasions (excluding the cute little hairless gremlin types, which are used to it.) That cat will remember and bite you while you're asleep/pee in your shoe/poop on your counter/swat your face/just loving kill you.

We must weed out defectives from our glorious species. If one is too old or too injured to put on his socks, he must be devoured by the lions that constantly prowl for un-socked feet. It is as the gods intended.
