Eric Estrada and other Commercial dudes

Am I the only person who always catches his commercials?

He tries to slang you property in random places in America. Like
"Hot Springs, Arkansas" ,
"No One Lives Here, Wyoming", or
"Please Move To This Shithole And Give Kitso A Razor Blade For Pete Sake, South Dakota"

Ok, maybe I was exaggerating about the first two. But seriously, at the end of these cheezy really long commercials he does a horrific golf swing that makes me sick to my stomach.


My next question. How does one get that job? That would be an awesome career. You know, to do cheezy commercials. I want to be a professional Infomercial Host guy. If I get a JD, will that help?

Bob

WTF is Tellico? I do know a little about Tenn. as lived with a lady from there. Hell I showed Her Tenn.

How many Pres. from Tenn? Where are they Buried? Where Did Kenny Chesney Go to School?

Do You know where Athens Is?

Washed up Actors getting some $$$, Hell, Give Them a Break!

They got to live to instead of pumping gas on the I-))) out of Houston!

I'm convinced there's NO, not ONE product he'd hock on TV.

SOMEONE please create a CHiPs: The Next Generation so this man can have some credible work.

C'mon, TV in 2005....SOMEONE will do it.

I would bet money that it is Jellico, and not Tellico....unless it is Tellico Plains....One of my nieces was born was born in Jellico, and we could not go to the hospital because the entire mountain was closed as impassable in January.

Yes, of course.

I remember one of the fratty.net refugees (don't remember which one) who posted on GreekChat was so proud that his grandfather had timeshares in several of those "No-One-Lives-Here-Cuz-it-Sucks" places.

I guess people actually DO pay attention to those infomercials.
