Superbeets infomercial - NRA's Dana Loesch [View all]

[JDC]

I was in the gym this a.m. and one of the tubes had on an infomercial for something called Superbeets. The host was NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch. I was really surprised at first and then it dawned on me that she really is nothing more than an actress. Paid to be "sincere," convey a message, and sell a product.

I think they made a bad casting decision for this one though. I don't know how anyone would buy something with her name tied to it...other than a weapon I guess. And that is a niche audience. If you are trying to sell a super general product like beet juice powder, wouldn't you pick someone that is less polarizing? I would.

Just really weird I think.
