Every Day and Night Live

Infomercials.

They are the new art form. Where all the other mediums converge in honor of a single, common purpose: selling us something we don't need, but can't live without. Believe me, the geniuses behind these creations have mastered their craft. I want everything they have to sell. Everything. You name it, and I want it. Chat Lines; 70s Music Collections; Air Purifiers; Thigh Masters; Dr. Ho Neck Support Systems; etc. I want it all.

I know they're absurd. Ridiculous even. And I know they're all like Saturday Night Live sketches without the laugh track. But what can I say? They've got their hook in me. Their mission has been accomplished...

I am a consumer.
