Back from the beyond

Post – April 22, 2001

My cable lineup has added something called the Product Information Network (PIN) – an all-infomercial channel. For me, this is something like sending a case of Ring Dings to the home of a member of Overeaters Anonymous every week. I can’t get enough of these fake earnest sales pitches. My current favorite is for something called Bloussant, a pill women take that is supposed to increase their bust size. They even splurged on some Tron-level graphics which show the green 3-D outline of a woman’s chest with, apparently, air being pumped into it. When Arthur C. Clarke envisioned the future, I don’t think this was it.

    Wait until you see the one for Jockosamine Sulfide. How about a cure for cancer instead?
