Video: Pasta Heals the Sick

I love infomercials. They’re not trying to sneak an ad past you with a catchy song or a funny talking animal. They are unabashedly trying to sell you something using good ol’ fashioned hucksterism. Ronco has consistently produced my favorite infomercials for much of my life. I’ve never actually tried one of their products, but I watch the advertisements religiously. So, to make myself laugh, I mashed up the pasta maker infomercial with footage of a televangelist. It worked.
