Every now and then, an infomerical product shows up that actually sounds like something I'd make up for my humor blog...
Like the new "Lee Majors Rechargable Bionic Hearing Aid"...
Yes, the former "Six Million Dollar Man" is hocking hearing aids for three installments of $14.95.
I was laughing so hard I had to write a post about it which, if you have a minute, you can check out here:

So I was wondering, what real products out there have had you scratching your head with wonder?
And do you have any ideas to add for 70s/80s celeb product endorsements?
It looks like it might just be a big market, and those folks apparently need the work!

Hair in a spray can. Though I don't know of a celeb who endorsed it. They were probably afraid to.-
And as I recall, the stuff would run if it got wet. Like, I don't know, rained on.
Might as well just use silly string. -
HAAHHAHA!! now that would be a sight to see -
The silly string toupee, or a guy with brown spray hair in a rainstorm?
-
Those could be endorsed by Donald Trump! jajajaja -
Austin Powers?
"also great for chests" -
The images here... oh, the eyes... the eyes....
-
-
both ^^
-
I am going to begin to market the Dick Cheny high-calibre assault rifle for hunting ducks, even if Cheny isn't on board. What's he going to do? Shoot me?
-
Um... possibly. Just remember: duck.

Batman (Adam West) would seem an obvious choice for mantihose.-
Having just read your mantihose thread, I think you might be on to something.
Holy pantyhose, Batman!

I have a Suzanne Somers Thigh Master and my mother was (for years) convinced that Victoria's Secret was actually owned by Victoria Principal from Dallas.
-
Did your mother ever find out the secret was it had nothing to do with Ms. Principal?
-
I told her many times, but she insists to this day...
-
Then maybe it should be called Victoria's Conspiracy...
-
The Thigh Master ended up in the pile with the Ab Roller.

I think most people have at least one piece of well-meaning athletic equipment like that that eventually fell by the wayside...
Or became an expensive tie-rack. -
I have those two pieces of relatively inexpensive pieces of athletic equipment and a series of exercise DVD's bought off TV informercials.

How about a dominatrix service endorsed by Linda Carter?
-
Wonder Woman endorsed a dominatrix service?
-
Still- Er, it's a joke. She's playing along with the post.
-
ST: she already has the whip, doesn't she?
Of course I'm joking jajajajajaja -
As I've only seen Lynda Carter do smaller roles lately, like in the movie Super Troopers, she might be looking for a career change.
-
It's a golden lasso, not a whip, and it's to make the bad guys tell the truth.
Sheesh. -
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA ST! AJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJA *drying tears*
Did I touch a sensitive nerve? I liked wonder woman a lot, especially since the name of the character is also my name still, that doesn't prevent me from using it in a joke -
*humphs*
Wonder Woman was awesome, and not in a slutty way like those other female super heroes were. -
This will come to be known as the BC Wonder Woman Controversy of 2009.
-
Yeap, you are right, this doesn't look slutty at aaaaalll
/ -
That's not slutty. She's totally covered. She's freaking gorgeous, but totally covered. Even the heels are sensible.
-
Oh my, suddenly the heating seems to be on to high.
-
Breathe, Polybore, breathe... (fans him with plaid kilt material)
-
Polybore,
What? You mean enormous boobs, tiny waist and perfect legs turn you on? What kind of animal are you? -
Yes ST, she is completely covered, as long as she doesn't lift her arms or legs, jajajajajajajaja. Ok, enough, I agree that she was gorgeous and I used to turned around around waiting for my transformation to happen, sadly it never did, that might be why I hold some resentment, I mean I'm Diana, she was Diana, I should be a super-hero too!!!
-
Deray- Heh, yes, I too spent much time as a kid spinning around hoping to explode into my Wonder Woman alter ego!
I'd even saved up my fifty-cents a week allowance for doing chores and bought myself a Wonder Woman accessory kit-- with the tiara, bracelets, and magic lasso!
Who'da thunk I'd end up a desk jockey?

-
Lol! Oh God! He's got a bionic ear! What's the world coming to when science fiction becomes science fact? Lololololol! -
Honestly, I didn't even recognize him if he hadn't said who he was!
I don't know if he's had some not-quite-right plastic surgery along the way or what. But he doesn't really look like himself anymore.
It was all very surreal. -
He looks kind of old. It's weird to see someone that was young the last time you saw them.
-
Well, he does have to be getting up there, but it doesn't quite explain why he looks so totally different.
It wasn't long ago I saw the guy who played the Greatest American Hero in an episode of "Heroes" and he still looked pretty much like himself. -
I remember that show! That was a great show!
-
-
Ha ha I left a comment. I think you should add Tina Turner and her Private Dancer Nightie with matching hose!!!-
That might end up being a very popular infomercial.
-
-
oops
-
How about an indestructible platinum hip endorsed by Lindsay Wagner?
-
Plus she could show how her bionic hip doesn't even interfere with her restful night in her SleepNumber bed!
-
jajajajaja I totally forgot she endorses those!
