Bogus iRenew bracelet commercial - come on Universal Sports tv!
If you watched the 2010 Rotterdam World Championships, men's gymnastics team finals on Universal Sports tv Thursday evening, you might have caught the commercial on the bogus product 'iRenew', a bracelet that supposedly top sport athletes wear to supposedly increase their game. Keyword here: 'supposedly'. Among its claims: -it emits "natural frequencies that your body responds to" -it helps you "get your balance", be "stronger and more flexible" -athletes spend hundreds, thousands of dollars on this item, but you can get it for only $19.99 - and you get a free one with your order They show a bunch of bogus demonstrations to 'prove' the product's 'effectiveness' and their claims, offering a money back guarantee if the product doesn't do everything for you that you see on the commercial...come on Universal Sports - do you not review commercials before airing them on tv? It was almost unbelievable to watch, like it was a joke...it's 2010...come on...Is it all about the bottom line? Or just a mistake? A slip through the cracks?

Those infomercials were hilarious - it was on again Friday night during the all-around finals on Universal Sports TV. Reminded me of the comedy infomercials during the Dancing With The Stars show Monday, the Bruno dance video and rubber steps that can teach you how to dance and you can also use as salad scoopers...of course difference is that the DWTS was meant to be funny.
