Yup, off HSN, at least for now

According to Nancy Bushkin, vice president of public relations and communications for Home Shopping Network:

"At HSN we were stunned by the revelations. The trusting relationship we have with our customers is fundamental. With that in mind, we have pulled all existing inventory from Mr. Irvine while we review the situation. I have no idea what the future holds. I'm not sure how many products he has had with HSN, but at the time we pulled them he had eight products. I am unaware of any appearances he has scheduled on HSN, but I'm not aware that he was going to be here any time soon."

Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman; shame on Wendy!

[Mr. S]

Damn...if only I had gotten one of those pepper mill/barbell hybrids before they cut his products. The polygraph/pasta maker was cool as well.

Mr. S,

Don't forget his line of steroid-infused oils. Or, how about that Irvine resume grater? His truth press was a marvel too.

Okay, I'll stop now.

Why should this upset anyone? We have a "People's Governor" who lied about representing the people (working people) - as you can tell from his "solutions."

His solutions?

Well, his solution to property taxes as a "first step" is a savings of less than 66 cents a day and Pruitt says no more "fixes" this session.

His Property Insurance fix? - Humm increase citizen's surcharges on all insurance policies so rich people can have cheap insurance for their beach front vacation home - increased premiums for everyone who doesn't have beach front vacation homes - increased liability for everyone who has any kind of insurance policy in the state - and, of course, using the state employees' pension fund if there isn't enough money otherwise.

His fix for PIP - well PIP now costs more and covers less.

So, why on earh should a little "resume" problem upset me - at least when it comes to making a dinner he does what he says he'll do - A HECK OF LOT MORE HONEST THAN CRIST, PRUITT, AND RUBIO!!!!!!!

What does Charlie Crist have to do with this?
If you have a problem with the governor post it on a blog related to an article about him. This is about a chef (or maybe I should say someone posing as a chef).

Irvines' Dianabol-Doughnut maker is an excellent product.

As well as his Face-Bloat Frickazee recipe.

LaTorre is an unscrupulous con-artist in her own right...

And they were two peas in a pod, taking advantage of what they thought each was capable of....

[ednamode]

I really really want a polygraph/pasta maker!!!!!! Maybe I get one on Ebay now that HSN isn't carrying it? ROTF.............

[Jerry Aldini]

This is proof that you reap what you sow. Irvine, LaTorre AND HSN all had a part in these shenanigans. They're all so STAR STRUCK that they'll do anything they can for ANY faux celebrity. Wendy's head is so far up the rear of a certain HSN exec (also from the UK) that when he stops short she can see out of his mouth. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Everything without exception HSN sells sucks.Everything is of the worst quality. The whole empire of jerks is based on selling fake crap jewelry to 68 year old widows.As we speak thousands of kids are cleaning out there deceased parents closets finding box after box of junk bought from HSN. Most unopened. They should be ashamed of themselves.

[Jimbo]

That is sooo funny, Bill Tash.

My Mom was a faithful watcher until the end and I remember boxes of that stuff at her estate sale.

[Hank]

So is there a parallel to be assumed between the people who purchase from HSN and the people who “bought” Irvine’s shtick?

[Jimbo]

I would, in the politist of terms, call them "gullible."
