As Seen on TV Culinary Crap Gadget Peddlers.
Has anyone seen any of these products advertised on TV? I think that they are often very annoying and are a waste of time!
1. First, we got the Queen of As-Seen-On-TV Culinary Crap Products, Kathy Mitchell who used to push Grip N' Flip and is noe pushing this latest crap gadget that is used to supposedly cook pasta in the microwave and also lets you make pasta salad in it as well after the water is drained from the pasta. 2. Next, we got Chef Tony who was pushing a set of knives and is now pushing a set of lids that when pushed down onto a container or bowl, supposedly forms a vacuum seal, supposedly keeping food from spoiling. 3. Then we got loud-mouthed yelling and screaming Billy Macy who seems to be pushing everything under the sun, from Oxi-Clean to a culinary crap gadget that supposedly lets you form burgers in it and supposedly cook the burgers on the stove, to health insurance and Orange Glo. 4. Then we got those aggravating and annoying infommercials or paid programs which are also very annoying that are wasting up and monopolizing as well as hijacking, spamming and trolling up hours and hours of precious TV airtime!! Who comes up with this stuff? Who is the brain child behind all of this? The Food Network History, Discovery, National Geographic, TLC and local channels seem to be the biggest offenders of this crap!!

Yeah, you're right!
I somehow KNEW that his name would get SOMEONE'S attention here and stir up anger at him. Haha!! Ever notice that when you're watching a program, you DO have to adjust the volume higher? Let this Macy character come on in one of thos aggravating commercials, and he seems to go right under your skin!! Why does he have to yell like that?! The ad, in and of itself, is bad enough. His yelling at the top of his lungs doesn't make things any better. Can you see him when he enters a room and says; CAN I HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE, PLEASE?!!!!!!!!!

He's on the planet Pluto and has to yell at the top of his lungs so that his message can be translated through the Solar System over to us humanoids here on Earth.
