Another piece of my soul just died.

QVC are selling large tubes of salt for £14 and trying to pass it off as some kind of miracle ice disolver.

It's salt.

Just a tube of salt.

SALT.

How is this pap even on TV? We shouldn't allow this kind of crap. We're actually willingly allowing our vulnerable citizens (such as the elderly and mentally disabled) to be ripped off. I'm officially ashamed.

Not to mention that it's simply horrible TV. Can't we just band together and ban this shart from being broadcast from our 4(/5) channels?

Why are you even watching QVC?

Apok · 16 Jan 2011 at 01:40

because people who don't better will still buy it.

Mason- · 16 Jan 2011 at 01:41

Like trying to sell ice to eskimo's.

Except that's a terrible analogy because some stupid ***** will buy that salt.

No swearing please.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

Only £14 you say? Bargain.

I used to love to watch QVC when i went to bed because it always always made me sleepy the amount of garbage they talk.

Naffa · 16 Jan 2011 at 01:43

I remember when I first got OnDigital, I sat and watched one of the shopping channels for about seven hours straight and saw the same things repeated about three times.

Djdom56 · 16 Jan 2011 at 02:50

At least give them credit for the effort

bushmins · 16 Jan 2011 at 08:15

Ha! I remember seeing that just after the snow we had. I can buy 100g for 17p in Tesco.

Edrof · 16 Jan 2011 at 08:17

Shopping channels only seem to show those weirdly bad shows that you have to keep watching purely because they're so cringeworthy.

Schizo · 16 Jan 2011 at 08:29

then they say "phone lines are very busy and stock is down to 20% so ring now to save disappointment"

makes me laugh every time they say that.

Well given that product has sold out dozens of times in the last few months, it certainly sells well.

Cosimo · 16 Jan 2011 at 08:53

Sad person watches QVC in the middle of the night.

MarkST · 16 Jan 2011 at 09:09

I used to love watching DIY with Harry Green on a Sunday morning. LOL.

Castiel · 16 Jan 2011 at 09:10

Why buy it when you can get it free from the yellow salt bins in the street?

(supermarket salt is not the same thing btw)

Retromatic · 16 Jan 2011 at 09:28

Haha, I feel the same - when someone I know started watching QVC a few years ago - he phoned me up and said it was amazing and told me about all these great deals he was getting.

I didn't want to break his heart and tell him it was a load of old rubbish, but he soon learn't after a few orders.

It's even more annoying when you see them selling PC's and they say it's state of the art and able to play all the latest games then you see it has some crappy low end graphics card.

DanTheMan · 16 Jan 2011 at 10:44

We had price drop tv on this morning and they were selling a necklace for £125 then 'amazingly' they dropped it to £20. Does anyone actually buy this ****?

OpenToSuggestions · 16 Jan 2011 at 10:49

If I could fart into a jar and sell it for £1,000 a time, then I would.

If the person purchasing the item is over 18 the nthey are an adult and are old enough to make their own thick, retarded decisions.

It is no more crazy than selling a T Shirt that should be £8 for £80. If people will pay it, then there is a market to be exploited. If you don't do it, someone else will.
