Exactly. Another brilliant, and I mean brilliant, scam that preyed on the laziness of the American populace. Don't change your eating habits, don't exercise, just take a teaspoon of this liquid each night and the weight will drop right off of you. Without a doubt, the quickest way to get wealthy in this country is to develop some type of product or service that is aimed solely at the lazy masses, one that you advertise through television so that the only thing the sloths have to do is dial a number and have their credit card handy. What can we come up that makes Americans even lazier? That's the multi-million dollar question.

I saw an ad on TV the other night that really set me back on my heels. It was for another diet pill, no idea what was in it, but their pitch was that it's an EXPENSIVE diet aid, so it's not for the simply slightly chubby person who needs to lose 5-10 pounds, it's for the person who needs to lose 20 pounds or more. And remember, it's EXPENSIVE, so it's not for everyone. And because it's EXPENSIVE, it's a wonderful product, and you'll lose weight!

Gads, it was breathtaking. I still need to take my walk. Where's my pedometer?

I hear golfer John Daly and others pitching "Trim Spa" on Rush's show every day. The commercials have such poor production value, it really makes me wonder how anyone can believe the sales pitch.
