Introducing the Turner Broadcasting BAMZU website - for when you're in front of a computer monitor all day long and can't get to your tv screen to watch those informercials on TBS, TNT and the rest of the Ted Turner television stations.
The Bamzu site apparently breaks things down into four categories: Kitchen stuff you don't really gotta have, kids life insurance policies you really don't gotta have, inspirational reading material the announcers seem to think you gotta have, and awful music -- that at 3 in the morning -- you know you gotta have.
A little known secret is all this $19.95 stuff (plus eight dollars for shipping and handling) is being marketed politically. All you have to ask yourself is whether the product is 40 years old or if it came out in the current Century.
The "Fifty Most Loved Hymns" is obviously Republican fare, while the "Bible on DVD" is for the Democrats. But wait, there's more! The "Better Crocker Bake and Fill" is for the Conservative Crowd while "Blendy Pens" go over well with Progressives.
For children the original Kidz Bop music CD could go either way, although "Kidz Bop volume 12" is definitely the domain of Conservatives who always take everything bland to the extreme.
For the older crowd it isn't too hard to figure out which party affiliation is buying all those Neil Diamond and Neil Sedaka albums (a recent poll of 18-54 year olds show an overwhelming majority believe they are the same person)
But as they say in television business, crap is the great equalizer. So call in the next 15 minutes and Bamzu.com will throw in "TWeeeze" for every John McCain supporter so they can lose unwanted ear and nose hair and at least look like a Progressive.
