But wait, there's more ...
When I was younger I would love to stay up late and watch the ridiculous and sometimes down-right silly infomercials. I grew to become a big fan of nearly everything from the SpaceBag to the Magic Bullet to the millions of different workout tapes.
I will preface the remainder of my blog with the fact that I do not watch that much television anymore, my viewing consists of DIY and SportsCenter. I used to think the reason I cut back on my television viewing was because I simply did not have the time to waste. I have now discovered why it is I do not like watching television. That reason is ... Billy Mays.
It does not matter what channel I am watching, I cannot get through one entire television show with out hearing, "Hi! Billy Mays here for [advertised product]."
His voice gives me a headache and I swear that I can still here it even when the television is muted. That overbearing enthusiasm is sickening.
Just in case you are not familiar with his work you may now him from his ... extensive ... resume.
