Anybody ever seen those “Knife” infomercials on tv?  
Are they _serious?_  
This dude keeps trying to stick all these knives into a hunk of wood, and they keep falling! Careful guys, don’t cut yourselves.  
Sure hope I’m not offending any fans here, but this is hilarious.  
Peace,

I must have missed that one. What channel was it on. I’ve just GOT to see this one.

Ha, I’ve seen those guys - they’re on the UPN station here in NJ, usually past midnight. I’ve also seen the knives fall over (providing an unintentional moment of suspense when they introduce each knife). Well, this enquiring mind wants to know - why does that one guy shout so much? He makes my ears bleed. I think they also sell sports trading cards and coins.

Now if you want a truly sharp knife, get one of those CutCo knives. I cut myself three times before I used it on something other than myself.

you know what’s even better to watch? those people who advertise their pots and pans by breaking the other people’s pans with hammers and stuff.
