Don Lapre Exposed, Part Deux!



Shortly after our mindblowing expose of Don Lapre, the infomercial in question mysteriously went off the air. However, soon after that a mysterious new infomercial appeared. It didn't say who the company was behind it or what exactly it was pitching, only a series of testimonials that a certain marketing program brought-in big bucks with little work. A woman hosting the infomercial reported that her company had made revisions to a previous marketing program, and that as a result of these revisions the program was now "50 times better!" Throughout the program viewers were invited to call and have it all explained to them.

Well, our crack investigators discovered the woman hosting the infomercial was one of the two women hosting the earlier Lapre infomercial. She's even wearing the same subliminally sinister dress!. See that tv monitor in the background? Digital analysis of the image shows that this is the smiling couple from the last infomercial! So we called the number from a secure phone and guess who answered the phone? Don Lapre!!! Or at least a recorded message from him. The program has been changed in two ways. In addition to selling "the world's greatest vitamin"(tm), there are four new products. We weren't told what they were, just that they exist. Far more time was spent on the bonus money paid when sellers like us get someone else "excited" and have them enter the program (and a percentage of their sales).

We have even more big news: Monz (with Mrs. Monz) are taking a well deserved vacation overseas. He has valiantly purchased an international calling card and will keep us informed. As he has today: Egg salad sandwich from Starbucks at home, hours before the flight. And if that's not bravery, what is? "Yummy, especially the bread." Bon voyage Mark Monz!

Commenting from Amsterdam airport. I am tired and people smoke here. I had a chicken sandwich here for lunch (9/23). It was pretty yummy. I am still tired.  
We are at the airport in Amsterdam. Our flight was delayed. We gambled! BTW the chicken sandwich had mango chutney on toasted corn bread. My hubby is tired he did not fully describe the yumminess of his lunch.
