Die Ab Circle Pro. DIE!

[vtec]

Okay, these Ab Circle Pro and other such rubbish infomercials have been going for a long time now. And as someone who only spends money on necessities like food, accommodation and motorcycle racing, it annoys me that there is that much tv time and money going into something so blatantly and pathetically retarded as this Ab Circle Pro.

Today, I have discovered that people do actually fund these infomercials. I know that it costs about $20 to manufacture these "devices", and after all of those extremely easy payments comes to $400 plus postage, that's an impressive and extortionate 1900% markup. Hats off. The marketing people have obviously worked out that to sell to a growing retarded market segment they need increasingly retarded products and vacuous adverts.

Attached is a pic of a Facebook comment from a friend of mine who unfortunately falls into the target market of this product.


Here's some other opinions about the ab circle pro. Why do people have to buy it to figure this stuff out?

The big chook next door got one (they tried to deliver it here to stick figure wife)
Doesn't seem to be working so far...

Is it necessary to actually put your smoke out and get off the porch?

I've used one, don't own one, and they are an amazing contraption but you do need to work it each and every day.

They are shitterly made but, if some smart engineer was to manufacture a decent well built model he/she would be on to a winner.

There has, and always will be people that are just born suckers.

Yes, the fat neighbour does need to get of her arse in order to lose some weight....does she look at it whislt smoking and eating and think the fat will jus tfall off??? Too much fat in the way for the brain to work????

It's the diet plan that does the work. All of these things all come with a 'diet plan' and following that makes you lose weight. If you like to think of it this way, they really sell a diet plan and include a gimmicky exercise machine. (God I hope there's a diet plan with this one or I shall look like a right twat).

I'd have to look more closely but I think shes slung a blanket over the box and sits on that when shes having a 'gasper'...

As opposed to just doing situps/pushups/ab-holds and free-weight exercises that activate your abs at the same time while also working toning other muscle groups too?

Are you sure it's the machine

[Headbanger]

100 situps
50 pushups
100 dumb bell curls.

I'm fucked.

Not.

People have lost the ability to recognise quality, when you need most all of the price to pay for the add's that TELL them it's quality then there's obviously fuck all left to pay for a quality build eh?

I felt stuffed just reading it.

[Headbanger]

I can't lift my right arm.

I figure that must be good.

[reemit]

That, my Arabian friend, is a classic and will now be my preferred way of describing crapness.

When I had my secondhand shop I made a shed load of money re-selling theses wonderful fitness aids

There have been a few over the years. Anyone remember the ab-curl-pro? That was not its name but it was a curved bit of plastic that you rocked back and forth on, amazing results if the advertisements were to be believed.

[Genie]

Not.

When ever I see those Ab circle Pro ads,I think of those Clowns They have at the show grounds -the ones where you try to throw a ball in their mouths.
Except the orifice isn't the mouth and the projectile isn't a ball.
