I figured it out!

What makes informercials so damn interesting to watch? Is it the information they're giving? Not really, I don't really care to know how to bake a frozen dog in less than 3 minutes (just joking animal rights people out there....it takes at least 7). Is it the people selling them? Aside from Mr. Ron Popeil (The Godfather), nobody really is that famous on these shows. No, you know what it really is that forces us to watch infomercials? The fact that its a 2 hour commercial. Americans by nature usually hate commercials (except for us broadcast media folk...that's what pays the bills). But if something is disguised as something other than a commercial, you might flip to it, and then THEY HAVE YOU! Why you ask? Because there are NO COMMERCIALS! YOU'RE WATCHING THE COMMERCIAL!!! You can't change the channel at the commercial, because it isn't coming up. And just when your brain starts thinking its time for a commercial, THEY KNOCK THE PRICE DOWN ANOTHER THIRTY BUCKS!!! I'M MISSING COMMERCIALS AND I'M SAVING MONEY! If you'll excuse me, I'm getting a credit card, calling toll free, buying everything I see tonight, and making 32 easy payments of $799.99.
