[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5075660, member: 1409"] Truer words never said. Albeit, [I]SOME[/I] times, the products [I]CAN[/I] be more worthy than gimmick. More rarely, the "product" [I]COULD[/I] be the show itself, [U]in which all the negatives of a particular product would be greatly elaborated[/U]. How often have you seen that? [B][U]The problem is that we have typically had to buy those products, use them ourselves, before determining they were as much or more a liability as an asset[/U][/B]. That's how I generally feel about turkey decoys, i.e. overall more liability than asset (at least to me). Yep, there are exceptions. It's just that they make "marketing" videos of "hunting" mainly on those "exceptions", without showing the more consistent general pitfalls of using a particular product. A renowned fisherman (with his own TV show) could take a new bass lure, cast it 10,000 times over a week, catch 10 bass, then put that "catch" footage in a 20-minute video. Everyone wants that new lure, because they saw it work wonderfully 10 times in 20 minutes. But maybe, maybe even likely, he could have caught more bass, with fewer casts, simply by using a different "old" lure or method. [/QUOTE]
