…But A Pencil Must Be Lead!” (Stan Laurel to Oliver Hardy)
Hi, everybody! Welcome to my blog: Infomercial Joy! My name is John Leahy, and I’m known to all my friends (and critics… what?!) as The Joyboy and/or The Brightboy (And, sometimes by my darling wife M as The Idiot: oh, well…). Starting today, (Saturday April 19th, 2008) I’ll be sharing with you my fascination with infomercials, especially the late-night variety, and the Problems, Solutions, and Calls To Action these products offer. I know I’m not the only one out here who can’t resist watching (over and over) and buying these products, whether they’re for Wealth, Health, or Success. When M and I got married, we had to get rid of a lot of duplicate items: Abdoers and Abrollers and Tony Robbins (yes, we have a lot in common), etc. I could’ve made a fortune on eBay(!), but I had webtv (another infomercial from the past) at the time, which didn’t support much online activity. Part of the “joy” is in the artful crafting of these commercial masterpieces, and we’ll be talking about that, as well as the products themselves and the purchasing experience. It’s something I like to call “News, Clues, And Reviews”. I can’t wait to hear from you, and I hope you’ll feel free to share your infomercial experiences. And, away we Go!!!
