Perhaps The Scariest Infomercial of All Time.
I ended my traditional cable service some time ago, so I have no access really to regular TV programming. One channel comes through, since the line is active for my ISP, and I happen to enjoy some of the programming. Long story getting longer, they did their nightly sign off, and the infomercials are out like roaches. They usually don't start before 4 and that is when I am usually coming out of REM sleep, an hour or so before the alarm, like I have been asleep when the alarm goes off for 10 years.
I can tell you about nopalea, the total gym, trivita, carmd the list is truly pathetic, let's not leave out he ninja and shark families, as well as Ron Popeil. I really don't miss Billy Mays. I digress...
This program starts with a line of people coming to a counter each asking for a different supplement to their individual health concerns, the guy at the counter is dressed with a lab coat and hands the same bottle to everyone. Cha Ching $$$....

Have we reached the point that Americana has become could possibly be gullible enough to participate in such a program, AND PAY FOR IT ! What could possibly go wrong ?
Gee, you can't keep my credit card info confidential, let me send you a DNA swab, I am sure those records would never be linked, or leaked. I freak out about sending a personal message on a chat board that might lead to identifying my employer, and they are trying to get people to just send in a DNA sample for fun. I will have do to some research on the funding to that company, I smell a rat. I keep a roll of heavy duty Reynolds in my emergency kit, for food purposes, I may have to pack a fedora pattern.
Just wow.

LOL!!! Funny!
And boy, have you got that right! Yeah, here, have some of my DNA!
I tried the dog swab, after taking the pills for a week, I have this urge to chase rabbits.
Run from that one. I don't like online shopping, but if I do it I stick to places that I know and trust. Pass some tinfoil if you have extra. I'm with you on this one
The modern day ''snake oil salesman''....
If I gave them my DNA, Torchwood would be circling the house within hours. No, I will remain incognito, there is much left to do.
