Before we begin, in case you are tantalized by how I'm going to twist the title of this post into something relating to today's infomercial, I'm sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting some sort of transgendered phenomena in an infomercial. (Although if you see any, send it my way!)
No, today is a simple ode to the joys of womanhood. Hourglass figures, sparkling eyes, winning smiles, facial hair...
Watch as a blonde Geena Davis look-alike confronts a woman who used Nads to get rid of her beard.
I love the photo reveal (that they never actually show us; thankfully we can all trust the blonde Geena Davis look-alike).
I mean, seriously. Did you SEE the expression on her face? *shaking head* Absolutely priceless. Let's look at the instant replay, shall we?
*GASP!*
I can just see the wheels turning in her head. "Oh, sweet mother of pearl, she was hideous! I can't stop staring at it! What do I do? What do I do? What do I say?"
"Uh, wow! Wow! How wonderful that this product was able to...help you in such a way! Woooooww." *sigh of relief*
So we're past the confrontation scene, but something else still seems amiss in this infomercial. Fast forward the tape a little bit. I'll see if I can put my finger on it...THERE! See that? What is WITH that random shot of the office and the fax machine? Are we supposed to infer from the unattended fax falling off the printer that nobody actually cared about this woman's problem? Did the advertisement's director have a little bit of fun, or was he trying to secretly insert a subliminal message?
"DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT. THE MAKERS ACTUALLY HATE ALL OF YOU AND YOUR STUPID UNWANTED HAIR. LOOK AT THE FAX MACHINE!!!"
Hard to say. Maybe he/she was getting underpaid. (Haha! He/she! If you say it without the slash in between, it totally makes the title of the post even better.) ;)
*By the way, I have to tell you how much I have become endeared to Nads infomercials over the past few days. Be forewarned: Nads will be back. :)
**By the way (part 2), some of you may have noticed that several of the videos I've used have been uploaded to Youtube by InfomercialReviewer. Please follow the links to his website from his videos. I discovered this a few days after I started my blog. His infomercial reviews, from what I've read of them, are hysterical. I don't read them until after I've already posted something of my own so I don't inadvertently, subconsciously steal his material. So no worries on that account. Go check it out, though. If you like what I've got going here, you'll love it over there. :)
