This commercial, for a forty dollar household mop, takes place at the Seaworld park in the San Francisco bay area. This is yet another program that opens with doctored black and white footage of a housewife struggling with a common household chore. It then quickly transforms into the brightly-colored, fast moving infomercial that everyone's seen: The revolutionary new PVA-10X. A live audience is again present; and close-ups of the audience are used frequently after they become grossed-out at some of the material Mick Hasting, Joe Farago, and a female co-host have to mop up throughout the duration of this 25-minute amphetamine-laced cleaning orgy. About the only good part of this commercial, is the funny, oh-so-phoney way in which the "ordinary" mops are tried, next to the PVA-10X. A can of cola is dumped onto a pre-mounted section of kitchen flooring material; and Mick's guests are encouraged to try cleaning the mess up with ordinary mops; and then cleaning up the same kind of mess with the PVA-10X. This infomercial attempts to sell you this mop by grossing you out with ordinary mops; espousing the benefits of how it wrings out so nicely while ordinary mops just shove the rotting garbage and germs deeper into their mophead, causing them to start to rot & smell in a day or two. The next test involves a mixture of soda pop, Hershey's syrup, black pepper, and ketchup. The audience is thoroughly grossed-out during this demonstration, and the camera spares no expense in getting close-ups of some of their reactions. Ordinary mops are wrung out, shoving the ugly mess deeper inside of them; while the PVA-10X appears to rinse clean with a single push of its "One Finger Wringer" lever. The infomercial's grand finale is a "contest" at cleaning a pair of extremely gross "kitchen" stage props; with one housewife using ONLY a PVA-10X, and the other one armed with a huge load of "traditional" cleaning supplies: mop, bucket, kitchen towels, Formula 409, Windex, etc., etc., etc. Obviously, the PVA-10X woman wins by a landslide. One particularly gross segment shows how "ordinary" mops rot, stink, and breed germs. The photographs of the blackened, decomposing and rotting mops are just disgusting; and how they tell you that if you mop with a regular mop you're just mopping your floors with your own garbage is equally nauseating. Just f**king disgusting. All in all though, this commercial isn't that bad, compared to a lot of the others out there. It's no more, or no less phoney; and the mop might even be superior to some other kinds of kitchen mops. But I would wait until the price comes down a little closer to that of a normal throw-away mop before buying a PVA-10X. |
