She uses her mother’s problems relentlessly in her sales pitches. “My mom’s in a wheelchair, so this [product] would be easy for her to use…” “My mom is disabled and she can’t travel any more, but she can go anywhere by looking at travel videos on this laptop…”
She’s used her dad too. “We bought this heater/blanket/pillow for my dad when he was sick,” “My dad would have loved this [product]”
Not to forget Joe and the daughter! “Joe has me shave the back of his neck with this [razor]” “I’m buying this for [daughter]” “[Daughter] has this and she loves it…” She shows phone videos on air of her daughter using products. Fortunately, no videos yet of Joe in the bathroom getting his neck shaved.
That QVC is addressing the negative feedback re Vegas is telling, that was a pretty defensive statement. I think Sandra was chosen to deliver since she is one of the less triggering long-tenure hosts.
I think that this Las Vegas stunt has been a very sobering lesson for TPTB, and the goofy-acting hosts. I am looking forward to the sales numbers, and I appreciate the posters here who can translate the info.
Have Skunky on while working on stuff, and she will not shut up about Bradley Cooper’s mother and the LV trip. Whatever concerns corporate might have about the optics of that fiasco haven’t been relayed to her, apparently. Or she truly does hold an ace card that cannot be beaten, and she knows it.
As if the hemorrhoid tale wasn’t enough, Skunks doubled down tonight. She just had to share the story (giggling all the while) that on the flight out to Vegas, one of the passengers got tipsy and peed all over their seat. When asked, she added that the unfortunate person isn’t affiliated with QVC. But then why tell the story at all?
Her glee reminded me of the hateful bully every grade school seems to have, tattling on the classmates who aren’t part of their clique. Grow up, Skunk!
Skunky also brought her grandmother (who has been rarely mentioned over the years and calls her some term of endearment for sales) into the exploiting family process. You know both her mom and grandma due to lack of available anti-aging products years ago did not age as gracefully as she is. You know she looks in her mid-30s according to someone she met on the plane, probably the tipsy woman!!
Not sure if I can get this transcript of the Airplane Tinkle Moment to fit the format on this platform, but I’ll try, The product was A643969 Belle by Kim Gravel Regular Flexibelle Sailor Boot Cropped Pants. Airplane story starts at 7:30 in product video.
Shawn: Did you hear what happened on our airplane on the way out there?
Kim: No
Shawn: You did not hear that story?
Kim: No
Shawn: Ohhh… well, listen, I promised you guys I would come back with stories.
Kim: Spill it.
Shawn: Okay, so we…
Kim: Uh-oh
Shawn: It’s not great, but I’m, you know, it’s not horrible. It’s just – I think someone had a few too many drinks on board the plane. We’re getting really excited to go on this vacation, and they got a little tipsy, and had trouble holding their bladder, so they had a little tinkle moment while in their seat, and –
Thank you for capturing that so thoroughly, @Coffeecup! I witnessed it and could not believe it. Except I could because look who we’re dealing with.
Didn’t Mally’s promos for this over 50 idiocy feature a “joke” about her peeing herself? I’m all for humor, but is no one involved with this campaign capable of wit? That would be way more appropriate for a celebration of maturity…but would actually require some.
So let’s just say that this was some poor, dementia patient who was incontinent, or someone else with a valid medical reason. Is that a joking matter?
I mean, I’m not so easily offended but sometimes people can’t help themselves, for whatever medical/physical reason and the last thing they need is to be mocked and ridiculed by some classless salesperson on the 24 hour infomercial channel.
