From the Faucet

Late night/early morning television is a world where informercials rule the airways.  Last night, I found myself reluctantly turning on the television at 4:30 a.m.  I must say that your programming options are limited at that time.  It seems that all anyone wants to talk about is the weather or they are trying to sell you some product that will enhance your life.

I dont pay much attention to my colon.  However in last nights gripping infomercial, "Is colon detox hype?", I was captivated with the Dateline-style reporting/selling of this product.  Now, I didnt start off watching this informercial thinking that I had any issues with my colon- however, about 10 minutes into this I too felt "bloated, heavy and lazy" (then again at 4:45 in the morning I wasnt exactly going to run a marathon).  The computer graphics were equally as convincing; it basically looked as though a child drew a picture of a colon and then scribbled with a brown crayon between the lines.  At this point I switched the channel and felt the urge to use the bathroom.
