Secretly Unstable

I have been told I am crazy, funny, a good cook, and a decent blogger. These are the expectations I am trying to live up to. Thank you.

This is a terrible way to start off the new year, but I have to get this off my chest. I hate this man:


You know who he is, it is Billy Mays of Oxy Clean, Kaboom, Orange Glow, etc infomerical fame. Given I am watching a ridiculous amount of daytime TV I think I see more of this man then the average person. If I was at work, I would research how much this product are on television and then I would wonder why marketing people have invested so much in this man.

I don't have to even be looking at the television to know that he is on hawking one of his wears. You hear that irritating voice... that monotone scream with no inflection. It makes me so mad. I am not even saying that the products are crappy. I am sure they are all terrific. I just can't stand Billy Mays, and I will never buy any product associated with him. Here's a list of these products (don't you just love Wikipedia):
* OxiClean, Orange Clean, Orange Glo
* Hercules Hook wall hangers
* Simoniz Fix It Scratch Remover
* Ding King automotive dent remover
* Gopher reaching tool
* Zorbeez absorbent towels
* Lint-B-Gone lint brush
* Samurai Shark knife sharpener
* Liquid Diamond car waxing product
* AwesomeAuger Ground Auger, Weed Auger, and Power Extender gardening tools
* Grip Wrench
* Turbo Tiger vacuum cleaner
* Fix It car scratcher remover
* FreeFone wireless phone holder
* Swamp Busters
* Handy Switch remote light switches
* Mighty Putty[12]
* Easy off bam!
* Crocodile Cutter
* Rogaine Facial Hair
* Sealtite Tire Sealant
* Genco Power Solutions
* Vidalia Slice Wizard
* Steam Buddy wrinkle remover/creaser
* Sticky Puddy
* Kaboom! products
* Bang! Automotive dent remover

Now there is no way that you haven't seen one of these commercials. But just in case you have had been living in a distant third world country without television here a beautiful blopper video:





After watching this video, not only do I dislike this man for being annoying, but he seems like a real douchebag. I think he might want to kick my ass for writing this blog. But I say bring it on.. Ruby, Sweetpea, and I will kick his ass and shave off that creepy beard!

And since I am on the topic of daytime commercial icons, what happen to Mario Perillo of Perillo Tours? His son Steve is now selling tours of Italy on TV! Steve Perillo??? Why would I buy a tour of Italy from Steve Perillo? Mario Perillo sounds much more credible. What is next? Will Mount Airy Lodge close? You know you can sing the jiggle!
