PERSONAL GROWTH: YA GOTTA MAKE MONEY TO BLOW MONEY
PERSONAL POWER II
Oh oh, our toothy friend is back with another set of his self-help books & tapes.
Anthony Robbins is known worldwide as a self-help guru. If you don't recognise his name, you will recognise his face. He's the guy
who shows up on very late-night TV with the really big teeth and the awful, raspy grating voice.
In his latest infomercial, this bunghole settles down momentarily in Australia and tries to convince you to buy his books & tape sets.
All kinds of famous & semi-famous people give "testimonials" and tell you how good the product is; the show also makes extensive use
of clips from many of his seminars from around the planet. Interspersed with this is his sales pitch and other commentary; given with
that awful, "I have laryngitis from sucking too much dick last night" voice of his which also makes him well-known even if you never see
his fake looking mouthful of big gigantic teeth.
This infomercial has just too much useless, superfluous content, and isn't even remotely entertaining. If I wanted to watch somebody
hopping around the stage making phoney "punching" gestures & dancing around like a schizophrenic lab rat, I'd rather watch Susan
Powter do it before watching this monkey-spank.
Anthony Robbins should also visit an orthodontic reconstructive expert, to grind down those big teeth of his; and an ear nose & throat
specialist to do something about that hellishly irritating, grating raspy-assed voice of his.
And why does he tell the viewers that if they don't have any money, they should buy his tapes. Buy them with what?
A commercial which is far too fast-paced and lacks originality. If you're an amphetamine junkie or a crankhead, you might be able to
mentally slow this guy down enough to keep your attention diverted for twenty five minutes. Everybody else, go find Susan Powter.
You'll be better off in the long run if you do.

DON LAPRE'S MAKING MONEY SECRETS
This is another one of those infomercials, that if you wake up in the middle of the night and watch it , you don't stand a snowball's
chance in hell of ever getting back to sleep.
Don Lapre is attempting to sell you an assortment of books and tapes that supposedly teach you how to make money in
various ventures. Some of them over the internet, other methods using "tiny ads" in the newspaper to sell some product,
and who knows what else. Do I really believe this will work? Probably not. There can only be just so many people
making any real money here; the rest of them will languish for the rest of their days on the phone, trying to hawk their ads
to already way-overstuffed newspapers.
Kodak Moments:
Don Lapre acts very much like an amphetamine-crazed needle freak during much of his so-called "presentation". I can't stand to even watch him for more than a few
seconds, when he's bouncing around in his little black chair like a baby that's been force-fed a whole jar of instant coffee.
If success is going to lead me to start abusing drugs or caffeine, I don't want it, thank you.
What's even more irritating than this guy's hyperactivity problem?
It's that voice of his. He seems to be straining to get the words out, and creating a very unpleasant aural stimulus in
the process. This guy should have spent some time taking voice lessons before shooting this infomercial.
As it is now, this guy's voice is as bad, if not worse, than somebody running their fingernails (or claws) on a chalkboard.
It makes you cringe just to listen to him.
He also claims to have made all of this money out of a "tiny, 1 bedroom apartment". WHY DOESN'T HE MOVE?!?!?
If he's really this well off, he'd go out and buy a house someplace. Right? Maybe even a mansion, or a bunch of houses like
Carlton Sheets has? And where's this guy's wife anyway? Doesn't she want to share in his success too?
A lot of his so-called "students" were interviewed in tropical-looking settings. How come he's still in his little 1-bedroom
apartment, sharing his space with mice and cockroaches?
This infomercial is boring and frankly, quite irritating. What's there to review?
Some crank crazed bunghole selling some books & tapes telling you how to put ads in the paper?
No thanks. If I want to put an ad in the newspaper, I'll call up the paper myself and do it over the phone, for free.
This one's only good for hardcore junkies or duotronic robots who don't require sleep anyway.
ONE toilet seat, for being a decent looking guy. None for his infomercial's content.
