I think that having nice, soft feet is a good attribute, and it's something that is escaping me at the moment, so when I saw this infomercial, I ordered that little gadget! I am a sucker. I've ordered the most redonkulous things after getting caught up in an infomercial. What's... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
