Infomercials: formerly funny, but now abhorable

[sonicblue]

Some are laughable, but lately, I've really been disgusted with some of them. It's one thing for that asstard Jack Hamm to scream his way through a thirty minute joke, but more frequently now, there are people with bona fide weight behind their names (pros, big-time instructors, etc...) just spewing lies.

If I hear one more "it automatically ....," I'm going to yak. I mean, these people are absolutely doing the game a disservice. I was watching the Momentus Power Hitter one, and all the kept saying was, "add 30 yards, add 30 yards." Like people aren't already completely overconcerned with distance (and try too hard to get it), sell them something that you're claiming will guarantee they get it, and when it doesn't, they'll just start swinging even harder.

I don't care if some schlub wants to make his millions by completely bilking the public, but when these "hallmark names" of the game right now attach their name to it, and start schlepping the same speech, it really turns my stomach.

I love the new Callaway Hyper X comercial, When the guys says Johnny hits the ball "like" 325 or something. I don't think 'ol Johnny could have ever hit that far.

I thought the same thing. If he could hit it that far, his backside wouldn't be glued to a chair in the announcer's booth.
