Insomniac Alert: Infomercial May Temporarily Rob You of Your Air Supply
Well, if I actually go through with this entry, then I guess it becomes official that I have left no sense of shame... OK, then, confession time. A couple of weeks ago, very early on a Sunday morning (that sounds far less pathetic than late Saturday night), I continued to sit in my chair in front of the tube when I should have been sleeping or working on this site... or, something even better. Anyway, I became transfixed by the familiar Time Life logo as the loop of the 30-minute spot began for the company's Classic Soft Rock collection.Lesser men would have darted straight to bed at this point, but in the glow of the screen I remained, steely as ever. Then my friendly hosts, Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell of Air Supply, beckoned, and all was lost. I won't gush too much about the sterling soft rock titles that scrolled down my TV screen, especially since anything I say could not compare to the earnest praise offered through a series of testimonials from various white-bread couples. Ultimately, though, I was left with the less than inspiring image of the aging Australian duo performing sub-par acoustic versions of their greatest hits while a cheese-eating blonde female co-host feigned excitement about her gig. Don't worry; I won't share what I did the rest of the weekend. Wouldn't want you to develop a heart condition.

My boyfriend and I are obsessed with this infommercial. We watch it all the time. We recently decided that we had to tape it and then last night, it did not come on! It never fails to make us laugh hysterically, especially “Him” and “I want to kiss you all over”!
