Have you bought anything from any of those "as seen on tv" things?

I used to work for a company that took the inbound calls for most of the crap that's sold on infomercials, and the wording the TR's (Telephone representatives) have to use is scripted in such a way that they can trick or mislead you into buying something that was not advertised and not quite totally explained when they read the scripting to you. (they're required to read the script verbatim)

I wont buy anything off of an infomercial now because of all the different things that they can talk you into. It was getting more and more deceptive sounding at the time I got fired (yay! they fired me! I was so happy!)
