Anybody watching the infomercial for the AB TRONIC

[Rickten]

Man I must be tired. They're convicing me that I can get a six pack while sitting on the anandtech forums and for only 130 bucks.

I've seen that infomercial before... it's very funny in my opinion... I personally don't like it at all - but their attempts at trying to make it look legit is quite enjoyable...

Isn't that something like what Bruce Lee used to do. HE had those machines that would give his muscles electonic shocks.

I love the actors they have hooked up to those shock pads. They're trying to keep that smile the whole time they're being shocked. It's hilarious.

I've got a similar machine I use for those times when my back is really hurting me. The shocks aren't bad, but you notice them.

Dateline did a story on these "exercise while you are lazy" machines. They got little or no results from them, nothing like what was promised

I used to work at a place that did this. Rich LA folk would come in and lie there, convinced that they were getting a workout. I quit when they began to inject pregnant women's urine into those same patients to stimulate weight loss. I am totally, totally serious :disgust:

Ack, I'd have quit too.
