RCS: Alright, last three questions. What's your favorite infomercial? What infomercial does the best job selling a crappy product? And what's the best actual product to be sold via infomercial?

Posnanski: So the first one is what is my favorite infomercial and I just have to go with the classic Slap Chop. It's sort of just him at his prime, doing prime informercial work. It's sort of his Hamlet. So I'll say that's my favorite.

The one that does the best job of selling a crappy product is not even close: It's Snuggies. By far. Nobody is even close to that. They created a whole new genre, in my mind, of the infomercial. It wasn't just that it was a crappy product, because there have been lots of crappy products, but it was crappy product that nobody could possibly have any use for. They invented this use, and they invented this sort of crazy, "Hey, you need a blanket that allows you to use your hands." And people were like, "Yeah, I need that." They definitely created a whole new market. I think that's done the best job and I think that's the Citizen Kane of the infomercials.

Then the best product. I've not really had a great product from stuff that I've bought off of infomercials. I never got to buy the Magic Bullet, and I've heard it's great. I'm thinking it would be really great, but my wife wouldn't let me buy one. So I'm going to say the Turbo Cooker is probably the best one that we've bought and not because it worked -- cause it didn't -- but we still use it in some form. Usually use it as a planter or something. But we still use the Turbo Cooker, so I'm gonna say that's the most successful one that we've purchased.
