Hucksta Update: Say It Ain’t So

April 13, 2009 | Jim Vicevich | |

Oh noooooo. Saw this on Fox and Friends on Saturday and it just ruined my day. Remy is the author of a new book, “But Wait There’s More” and he says … gulp … the huckstas use various techniques to get you to overpay for stuff you don’t need. And wait till you hear the techniques! “They’re very very clever.” Indeed.

    Fell Asleep with my TV on, Oh what a dream I had, I dreamed that I went and answered everysingle one of those late night mail order adds, and 4 to 6 weeks later, much to my surprise, the mail man came to my front door and I couldn't believe my eyes, I got the egg scrambler, and the garden weesel too, a set of presidential commerative plates so I could eat my eggs off the presidents face, a bamboo steamer, and a seal a meal carrying case…..

    You need to buy this story that the banks can't fail! How much will we pay!  But we are running out of time- please buy this story that the world is headed over the edge if we don't send bailout moneyto the banks -TODAY RIGHT NOW!!!.

    But wait- there's more! If we don't bail out the mortgage companies we will all explode! Now how will we pay?

    If you buy this BS we will also we bail out the unions in the auto industry! Now how much will we pay!

    I am guessing till the end of time.
