They could have learned from Ron Popeil.
Just set it and forget it.
Words to live by.
I'm embarrased to say that whenever that infomercial came on, I had to watch it to the end. It had me mesmerised and I nearly had the whole thing memorized. I never thought of buying the Showtime rotisserie because it looked like an other kitchen appliance to take up space, and a bear to clean, but it was pure entertainment, especially how he kept lowering the price to make it sound like the best deal ever.
I always noticed how careful Ron was when he put the meat or fish or whatever into the contraption. I'll bet it is a real b*tch to put chickens or whatever on tht thing and not have them fall off, or not have the parts fit just so....
I also loved all the other free stuff that came along with it...especially that thing that let you inject the meat with figs or garlic or whatever. Don't think Ron is quite ready for the 2010 list.
