It’s always nice to be reminded that late night TV is still as I’ve always known it to be. It seems late night TV is targeted to the desperate, the lonely, the failures at life. Afterall, isn’t it while watching late night TV you see all the scammy infomercials about making money in a real estate business and knife sets you don’t really need or will never use.

Tonight while watching Fox News we saw a commercial for this guy:

He is Proposal Man! And he’s here to help you pop the big question of asking someone to marry you. My first not-so-nice thought was yeah, he’s probably had a lot of chances to propose after being rejected so many times.

I could be wrong about him, as I know it’s not right to always judge people on appearances…but just the level of tackiness in his website (you can see it here) and that greasy used car salesman hairstyle makes me wonder what he might know about dating and relationship advice, let alone marriage proposal ideas.. I just don’t think he portrays the right image for me to feel confident about his advice on sweeping someone off their feet and asking them to marry you, unless you’re going for that perfect balance of tacky and creepy.

Why is this the the kind of commercials you see on late night TV? Are they scared somebody will actually see them? Is their budget tight? Are there studies that prove only suckers watch TV after 11 pm?
