Yeah, the Bread Butler was a stupid infomercial device that "dispenses" butter for you when you turn the crank. My point is that if you go to a website like infomercialscams.com , you'll see that "creating an artificial need; selling your product to fill that need" is actually a very successful business model. I personally feel that devices such as the TLCTugger happen to fall into this category, because they spread disinformation to make circumcised men feel terrible about themselves (you've been MUTILATED!! you'll never be able to have proper sex until you have a foreskin!!), and that they NEED to buy their product in order to make them normal again. People develop a psychological fixation on it, and begin to hate their parents until they use their product. This is simply unhealthy for so many reasons.
I'm also into natural/alternative health, and as i've said before i've seen SO much disinformation and outright lies told simply to sell a product. The prime directive of ANY business in the world is "to make money." Creating a business out of circumcision and using half-truths and fabrications such as "ZOMG it prevents AIDS!!!" happens to fall into this category. I always do my research and gain an informed opinion, so that I can eliminate the excuse of "Well, I didn't know any better. . ."
