A $39.95 Value - AR15.COM

Posted: 1/26/2009 5:23:48 PM EDT

This relates to every tv infomercial. Why is it that every product is "A 39.95 Value, yours for $19.95". If you're selling it for $19.95, it's a 19.95 value. It can't have more value than what you're selling it for. And to top it all off, if it was such a value, why are you giving away other shit along with it? Who falls for this stuff? Oh, I almost forgot, it's made in Germany, Italy, Europe, Asia, etc, so it's good. Do other countries advertise their shit as "Made in America, so you know it's good."? Just an observation, not meant to start ShamWow wars or anything.

Because 90% of the public is gullible.

Wasn't really a rant, just an observation. I could earn your 8 if I really went off on it.

I almost forgot, "Not available in stores". Wonder why that is?

Yes, an observation. Most normal people can do it. You see something and comment on it, doesn't take a genius. You should try it.
