Just For Fun: Five of the Worst, Tasteless "As Seen On TV Products":

1) Better Marriage Blanket, $29.00 and Up: Created with the“same fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons,” the Better Marriage Blanket absorbs flatulent odors. It makes a highly insulting wedding or anniversary gift. Visit bettermarriageblanket.com to say “goodbye” to Dutch Ovens and “hello” to marital bliss.

2) NCIS Bert the Farting Hippo, $44.95: Everybody loves a big mouth—that is, when it belongs to this charming hippopotamus puppet. Bert the Hippo features a realistic contoured head, bewhiskered muzzle and speckled gray velboa fabric. Abby's infamous hippo includes a kid-friendly plush studded collar and realistic farting noise.

3) Spray on Hair, $9.99: Now called “My Secret Correctives," My Secret Root Touch-Up Spray conceals gray roots in seconds. My Secret Root Touch-Up Spray blends with your hair color for instant touch-ups that won’t flake or streak. Provides color where you want it, when you need it. Just avoid sweating or rain at all costs!

4) Uro Club, $24.95: The only golf club guaranteed to keep you out of the woods or jail. That’s because you pee in it. Billed as a “discrete sanitary solution for your urgent relief,” the Uro Club’s grip twists off to reveal a built-in reservoir. The device comes with a clip-around-the-waist towel to fool course marshals into thinking you are just checking out your club. Meanwhile, the joke is on them because you’re taking a leak. Buy the Uro Club for $24.95 (plus shipping and handling) at uroclub.com and never get kicked off the course for public urination again.

5) AromaTrim, $49.95: Smell your way into weight loss. You sniff; you lose weight. Don't let the content smile on that lady's face on the ad fool you, though. There's a catch. AromaTrim is (was in the US, but it's still sold in Asian markets) a Zippo-sized hunk of plastic you whip out whenever you start to feel hungry. The plastic is designed to smell like vomit. Really. Oh, Lord, it just doesn't get any worse than this!
