MFr had heart, I'll give him that.

I randomly walked by that guy wearing his question mark suit in Arlington, VA.
That was a weird experience for me.

I also miss jerking off to the late night phone sex commercials that would come on during Night Court and Arsenio Hall. Me and a buddy called one night but they wanted a credit card immediately so we hung up.

Even as a youth I always wondered how newspaper ads worked if you didn’t have anything to sell which he implied you didn’t have to anything.
I read the ads were for 1-900 premium rate numbers that you owned and you made money when people called the numbers. Makes some sense as long as you were alright with being tied to phone sex numbers or whatever else he got you involved with.

I vaguely remember this from when I was a child.
So many questions today. Why are people calling my 900 number? What are we advertising?

Kevin Trudeau is a convicted con man/felon, involved in multiple cases of fraud, but he was a nightly informercial charlatan in the 90s.
Unknowingly, I bought his Mega Memory book, and I gotta tell you it worked. He himself may not have been the memory expert he claimed to be, but the various memory tricks & tools (particularly, mnemonics) that he compiled in the book 100% helped me pass tests during nursing school & get my degree.

I don’t realize that he committed suicide by slitting his throat in jail while waiting to go to trial on federal fraud charges back in 2011
Guess he didn’t want to be poor.

He and William J McCorkle had all the tv time in the 90’s for infomercials
