Billy Mayes had a new commercial on FoxNews this morning. Some kind of widget for retrieving screws from under the couch and such. I didn't catch what it was call because I ran from the room screaming.

RE: Mayes. As obnoxious as this kind of advertising is, it's effective. I've noticed most of the people posting to complain about Mayes cite the names of the products he's pitching, and that's the point: product identification.

Remember those absolutely disgusting "Please don't squeeze the (blank)" commercials, or the pre-laundry treatment product that drove us all nuts with "(Blank) it out?" We may not remember the commericials now, since they've toned them down, but we remember the product names. (In my case I remember them so well I've vowed never, ever to buy one of them, but unlike most of the buying public I'm the vindictive sort).
