FMS commercials - is it just me, or...

Are commercials for Fitness Made Simple on all the time, or is it just here in AL? What are your impressions?

I don't watch much tv yet seem to see those commercials an awful lot myself!

We just recently had a very intellectual , and musical, thread about these commercials. Check it out:

Oh man, how much do I hate these commercials! At least they're a recent development for people in other parts of the country. Mr. FMS, John Basedow, is a local guy so we've been bombarded with his infomercials for years now. (Fitness Celebrity? Where? At family gatherings?) He just totally creeps me out with those oh-so-precious poses, that deer in the headlights look and the latest, that lovely highlight/lowlight hairdo. And don't get me started on that stringy little old lady and her testimonials...Gramma Basedow? Zat you?

Thanks for posting the link to the other thread - I missed that one! Did you know that there was a rumor spread that he died during the tsunami last year? Maybe it was wishful thinking for some of those who really hate him...

Maybe he considers himself a "celebrity" because he's in a commercial on TV...being referred to as a celebrity..wait a minute!

Now I personally like men without chest hair (and back hair and nose and ear hair), but there's something really creepy about JB's hairlessness. Too shiny? Too "boobie"?

Perhaps I should write a new jingle about it?

Too funny Kathryn!!! What channels do these commercials come on? I've never seen them or heard of them but it sounds like I would get a good laugh from seeing one!!!

Kathryn, if you do, you MUST include something about how his hands are strangely near his crotch in many of his poses - what's up with that?

I watch the weather channel (I know - how exciting!) for the weather classroom series in the mornings. Darn if all the commercial breaks do not include that scarecrow looking man (J.B.) talking about FMS. YIKES! Why in the world they advertise on the weather channel especially during the weather classroom is beyond me!
