The thing that most of these sales pitch is that they emphasize the "19.95", but quietly say things like "5 EASY payments of *ONLY 19.95!!!*". Anyone that bites on that deserve it.
On a side note, for those of you in the US who may have seen those "Abtronic" commericals or something similar, I've often thought that these devices only emphasize the laziness of American Culture through TV. It irks me so much that I've started writing a short story about a fat guy who watches 8 hours of TV a day (he has a full time job) and gets hooked on Abtronic. Pretty soon, this guy is watching TV while multiple abtronic devices are running on his body. Thighs, abs, calfs, biceps, shoulders, face, you name it.
