"The Infomercial Challenge!" or "Look Like A Doofus In Front Of Your Friends!"

I was watching some of the YouTube, and they had some ads on afore the videos started. You know, some cereal cholesterol thing. It was a 'Honey Nut Cheerios' thing, where this woman comes on and starts talking to the camera man about fiber.

It got me wondering. Not about my fiber intake, no, I'm a modern god with an Adonis-like physique. It got me wondering whether or not there are actual people out there who walk up to their friends, sit them down, and seriously talk to them about your blender.

I'm going to ask you to act like a person in an infomercial. Not really, 'cause you'll be walking into walls, and suffering from all sorts of joint pain and loss of hearing and you'll be ripping open your juice boxes left and right. I'm going to ask you to look at a friend, very seriously, just like those fine actors on the TV, and talk positively about this miracle exercise machine/weight loss/kitchen tool/modern convenience. Then you should relay their reaction here. All in good fun.
