    Well, I don't see how people use government conspiracies to make money, but I digress. You are correct in that people are extremely gullible. That said, it still amazes me that Billy Mays is somehow deemed marketable. I say that because the very sound of his voice is simply unbearable to me. Yes, he might sell some cool products. But I cannot bear the sound of the bastard talking for 10 seconds, much less for an entire infomercial.

    Then again, given the state of pop music/culture over the past 20 years, I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise to me. I mean, really? American Idol? People watch that garbage? :dis:

    Money off of conspiracies is a big business.

    How many people watch the Super Bowl?...and yet of all the performers in the world they choose a guy who can't sing or dance to take center stage.

    Isn't America great?

    The really funny thing that is being missed here, is the change in infomercial strategy. Used to be a 30-50 minute show after midnight only. Now they realize they can hook people in 30 seconds at any time of day. What an industry.

    Him and the Shamwow guy with the Madonna headset. Hilarious. Mays is even selling insurance now. If he ever goes to Africa, he could probably solve hunger on that continent.


    Bono will be bummed.
