Late Night TV

It's pretty late right now - and what better to fill those late night hours than infomercials. They have just enough plot to keep you interested (Will Sarah EVER be able to get out that unsightly coffee stain from her carpet?), enough repetition to make sure that even in a state of sleep-deprivation you get the point, and a thrilling crescendo (not $99, not $69, not $59, not even $49... only 4 easy payments of $11.99).
