(I know the volume of this commercial is three times that of the show you were just watching, but don't turn it down, it's a very important message)

Folks, are you tired of not having the right knife?  Are you tired of constantly sharpening you knives, only to have them dull again in minutes?  Well, no more.  It's time to get the amazing Fun Gyu knives!

This set of knives comes in all shapes and sizes, so you always have the right knife for the job.  And they stay sharp forever.  Watch as we cut through this brick with the amazing Fun Gyu knife, and you can still split a hair with it afterwards.

You can get all 27 different Fun Gyu knives for the low, low price of $19.95, along with this beautiful knife holder.

But Wait!

Don't have a nice kitchen like the one in this commercial to use your amazing Fun Gyu knives in?  Be one of the next 100 callers, and we will redecorate your kitchen!

There's more!

If you don't own your house, call in the next ten minutes, and we will give you a new house to put your new kitchen in!

And that's not all!

You say you don't have a wife to use the amazing Fun Gyu knives in your beautiful new kitchen?  Be the next caller, and you can marry the model who is demonstrating the amazing Fun Gyu knives!

So, act now, and you can get the amazing Fun Gyu knives, the kitchen remodeling, the new house, and the new wife for only $19.95!

Just send us your credit card number!

Good one, Bob.
Bob Cronley Jan 5, 2009, 9:47pm EST
See my last post, I just knew I would get one of these! They tried to scam me, but that one has never worked on me.
Leora E. Jan 5, 2009, 9:52pm EST
LOLOLOL!!!!! Great post, I soooo needed a good laugh, thanks Bob.
Angela A. Jan 5, 2009, 9:52pm EST
OMG, this was so funny! I was laughing my butt off.

Do you accept cash?
Teresa A. Jan 5, 2009, 10:02pm EST

Anne G. Jan 5, 2009, 10:07pm EST
Aww, I AM the wife, can I still get one?!!! LOL

That was too funny. You should consider hiring out your services as a writer!!! LOL
Bob Cronley Jan 5, 2009, 10:23pm EST
Anne, we are planning on doing a second commercial with a male model. (currently negotiating with Fabio)
Ali C. Jan 5, 2009, 10:35pm EST
That's great, I love it!
Sheila J. Jan 5, 2009, 10:40pm EST
Very humorous! Thanks for sharing!
Claudia (kitty-cat) K. Jan 5, 2009, 10:42pm EST
Well, if you let me have the knives free, and pay me 19.95, I can get you into a multi level marketing scheme by which you can make 2500 per month. All you do is fill out a form on the internet, and start making money.
Bob Cronley Jan 5, 2009, 10:52pm EST
Claudia K., is this Amway? :)
F. Jeanette c. Jan 5, 2009, 11:15pm EST

Shannon H. Jan 6, 2009, 6:17am EST

mary bryant Jan 6, 2009, 7:39am EST
Lol Can I have the new house but you keep the husband?
lena k. Jan 6, 2009, 7:42am EST
great
M. Bradley McCauley McCauley Jan 6, 2009, 7:50am EST
Good job. I love it when they say, "call right now and we'll give you the amazing knife plus--" Then they add, after telling you to call right now, "but wait---"

Love it, love it, love it.
Nancy Biri Jan 6, 2009, 8:29am EST
Thanks for sharing
donna f. Jan 6, 2009, 9:32am EST
How about COD?
~*~ tinksmagic ~*~ ~ Jan 6, 2009, 9:50am EST
You forgot that if you act now in the next 5 minutes, you'll get a double-order, all you pay is a small processing fee and shipping!!!
Bob Cronley Jan 6, 2009, 11:55am EST
Tinksmagic, we can't do the double order, we only had one model. Good idea, though, when we do the one with the male model, we will get twins.
Bob Cronley Jan 6, 2009, 11:56am EST
Sorry, Ian, we did Mexico, but we forgot Canada.
Bob Cronley Jan 6, 2009, 12:07pm EST
mary bryant, what would I do with the husband? Check my orientation. :)
David S. Jan 6, 2009, 1:08pm EST
Where do I send my money order? And can you wire me back the excess of the 19.95? :)
golds g. Jan 6, 2009, 1:47pm EST

Elizabeth S. Jan 6, 2009, 2:55pm EST
That may be an offer people can't refuse.
