Lisa: Tool(s) of the Week
I don't find infomercials to be a particularly pleasant or effective marketing technique, but I must admit that there are some good as-seen-on-TV products out there. Especially...
and
It's hard for me to admit, but Jessica Simpson and Diddy sold me on Proactiv. That ridiculousness aside, now that I've tried it, I don't think I'll ever go back to another skincare regimen. My skin is softer and clearer and more glowy than it ever has been, and new boxes magically appear on my doorstep when I need a refill. The only downside is that my purple towels now have giant pink bleached spots from the benzoyl peroxide--but it was time for new towels anyway, and I was already planning to replace them with white. Problem solved!
It's only been a few weeks since Marci introduced me to Turbo Jam, but so far I am loving it. The routines are relatively easy to pick up, go by quickly, and leave me completely sweaty (which I figure has to be good). I can't wait for my "ripped, rock-hard abs."

You let them sell you on a infomercial product. Regardless of if it works or not it is just wrong to buy something that the only place you can buy it is off daytime tv. Plus, there are lots of products with bonzoyl peroxide.
Wow Jeff. That was harsh. Plus, I think that if a product works, it is a good product and worthy of endorsement, regardless of where it was originally advertised.

Posted by: Marci on October 19, 2006 11:54 AMI think this comment thread is a good example of Jeff getting served. And also a good example of what happens when you mess with one of the girls. Except with less blood.

Posted by: Marci on October 19, 2006 03:41 PMThat is what I am saying. Carson Daly is a tool. Ryan Seacrest is a tool. The hockey-playing boyfriend from 13 going on 30 is a tool. Lisa is not a tool. LISA IS OUR BFF!
