It's obviously not true...What a weird thing to say. It's obviously not true--host, co-host and audience are all selling the products. Take the patches she put on her feet to "remove toxins" or whatever they do. It's obviously a useless product that can't do what it vaguely claims to do. Yet she bought it anyway-why? <BR/><BR/>Why spend so much money on Sephora products and clothes from catalogues? Why fuss over the perfect appliance when all you're going by is the name anyway? She knows she's being fed a constant diet of lies and other crap to get her to spend money, yet she does it anyway. Is her sense of identity that tenuous?<BR/><BR/>Megan McArdle, our own little Chinese puzzle.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-8364326545301352682009-01-15T14:37:00.000-06:002009-01-15T14:37:00.000-06:00"mutually acknowledged prevarication"? When have ..."mutually acknowledged prevarication"? When have you ever seen one of those shysters hawking infomercial rubbish that they claim can do everything short of make babies and cure cancer? Granted, I don't watch those things that often, so there actually could be some "acknowledged prevarication" where the host stands up on the stage and tells everyone that the product he's selling is 100% crap and not worth the price that I'm not aware of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
