[Napoleon Dynamite]

3. The way the dude looks scares me

Like he's not really human.....

4. The blonde hair looks awful on him

It's so unnatural ...

[Napoleon Dynamite]

5. Are you implying that isn't his natural color?

It looks like a home highlighting job with a kit from the dollar store.

12. I just saw his commercials for the first time in the last two weeks.

I agree. There is definitely something creepy about him.

6. Lifetime's own Denise Austin!

I guess she's married to Tracey Austin's brother.

8. I think someone like Basedow says he is a fitness

celebrity because he has absolutely no credentials to make him a fitness expert....

Denise Austin, love her or hate her, is at least a fitness expert and not a "personality".

And, her routines in the early morning get me up to face the day...

Don't do them but watching her..........

14. It's like the infomercial "show hosts."

They are all "tv personalities" "tv celebrities" or "beloved tv hosts" whom NO ONE ever heard of prior to the infomercial.

9. D J Wallis for one...

10. Tony Little would be one.

13. Someone who fits the outfit well enough for the infomercial?

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. A fuckin' loser idiot who should be killed then put in prison.
