Poll question: Guthy-Renker: Spawn of Satan or Saviors of Mankind?
You know, Guthy-Renker---the infomercial powerhouse of the USA! :eyes: These are the geniuses that allowed Kathie Lee Gifford to hawk low-quality makeup and who have fitness, makeup, and skincare lines plastered all over late-night and weekend TV.

OK, my vote is for Spawn of Satan. :P

1. Brooke Burke wouldn't lie about a company's righteousness, would she?!?!?
Say it ain't so!

2. According to my husband, she would NOT lie about anything!
:P Kathie Lee Gifford would, though, and so would Victoria Principal and the minions from Proactiv....

3. Other: Who?
Seriously, I never heard of the outfit until just now.

I guess I need to watch more infomercials.

Wait... what did I just say?

4. Huh?
You must not have cable tv and/or not watch it much. There are times when it's unavoidable. :yoiks: You're lucky to not know who they are! :D

Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 09:59 AM by Orrex
We should have suspected her from the beginning.

8. Yep. But I'll bet it's for a new TV series that she'll be starring in...
You came up with the perfect title: Brooke Burke, Wiretapping Superchick!!! It'll be all about her wiretapping superadventures and working with the power icons at Guthy-Renker. :D

9. You've got it backwards!
Guthy-Renker works for her. She's the puppetmistress pulling all the strings while posing as a buxom figurehead. Hiding right out in the open, for all to see.

But she can't fool me!

10. OK, I stand corrected...
She IS Brooke Burke, after all! :) Is there anything she can't do?

BTW, good call on that....she can't fool you at all!

11. Let her pose all she wants, I say--I can take it.
In the struggle for truth and justice, I can withstand even that!

14. That's better
I'd hate to see you "disappeared" by her operatives for your lack of proper reverence.

15. If Guthy-Renker's behind this, then I'd better watch my step.
Brooke might order the GR agents to do just that. :scared:

17. Interesting tidbit
Here's an early prototype of that silvery Ball she's always going on about:

Why would Ms. Burke be so keen on getting one in every person's home, I wonder?

16. Spawn of Satan.
Although I have been tempted by the Dean Martin DVDs.
