Mighty Putty just fixed my lyre. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, a lyre is a little metal thing used in marching band to hold up your flip folder (which is the booklet thing that holds all of your music).

I just watched the final episode of "Pitchmen" on Discovery Channel. The ending almost made me cry. God, I'm a wuss. lol

I think what almost got me was when they said "There was only one Billy Mays... and he will be missed."

That almost got my parents too. I was also watching that.

And we probably won't see the ShamWow guy on TV anytime soon, he is in trouble for beating a prostitute, and then the prostitute beat the sh** outta him.

Vince. That guy's almost as annoying as Billy.

But Vince copies products that are already made and is a criminal too!

Vince doesn't copy them, he just endorses them.

It seems almost a slap in the common consumers' faces that they are buying a quick-sell product called 'sham'-'wow'.... i.e. the ultimate 'sham'. 'Chamois' is a kind of leather used for polishing and drying. Why not make up a name that has 'Cham..' or the like in it? It's almost like they were 'looking down' upon their sucker-clients, and 'up' about their own selling-abilities by overtly placing in the name of a product 'sham'. The 'Wow' is in the fact that they can still sell a product that they overtly named 'Sham'.

These people were called 'Sophists' in Greece; we call them 'Spin-doctors' or 'Pitchmen' today. If a product or service is good, it will sell itself without the manipulative hype and mellodramatism... Their goal is to somehow control others, in this case get them to buy a product. But the control part is that which they find exhilarating and drives them. The more ridiculous the proposition offered, the more they know was their 'skill' in controlling said person.

You may say this doesn't happen. But I've seen it many times, and even presently have 2 Psychiatrist clients who play with people exactly like this in their practices. It's 'entertainment' to them...
I see some of those traits on this forum too...

The prostitute beat him up, too? I hadn't heard that part. That's funny as hell!

Edit: I actually posted the picture on the Billy Mays fan page on Facebook, too. I tagged him as "Hooker Beater". lol

This is just getting to you? He died one day after Micheal Jackson died.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #34 on:** July 03, 2009, 12:58:06 AM »

No... this thread has been up since the day he died.
