Kevin Trudeau and Playboy Playmates Tell You How to Suck Free Money from the Government

July 27th, 2009 Paul Lucas
Even with a busy schedule of fighting lawsuits and crashing Bilderberg meetings, Kevin Trudeau has found the time to create yet another infomercial. This one peddles his book Free Money “They” Don’t Want You to Know About, and it is an odd mixture of T&A, self-pity, paranoid loathing, and references to Matthew Lesko.
The infomercial disguises itself as a talk show called “Sara & Kara” hosted by two Playboy Playmates of the Year, Sara Underwood (who also appeared on Trudeau’s Hot Seat infomercial) and a woman she calls, “My very best friend,” Kara Monaco. Sara and Kara both wear short dresses, continuing the recent trend of gratuitous cleavage on infomercials. Any man would stop and stare at the exposed flesh of these two sexy Playmates.
But Kevin Trudeau doesn’t seem to notice it at all. I don’t doubt the man’s heterosexuality, but he is so absorbed by his own anger at having to fight the government in court that he spends much of this infomercial whining about it, even though it really doesn’t have a lot to do with the product he is selling. He complains that he was fined $37 million “because I used the word ‘easy’ when describing one of my books.”
This hostility affects how he describes the US federal government. Throughout the show, Trudeau excoriates politicians as corrupt liars, criminals, and rip-off artists. This leads to the biggest disconnect in this infomercial. Trudeau stokes hatred of politicians, yet he extols all the free government goodies citizens can get from those very same politicians. So what is their big crime? According to Trudeau the outrage is that “no citizens are informed that the programs exist.” Doesn’t that just make your blood boil? Me neither.
Trudeau claims he is taking no royalties or commissions from the sales of this book but is promoting it as a “public service.” So Trudeau is like the farmer ringing the dinner bell so that all the hogs know that their free slop is in the trough. “I should be given a medal by the Federal Trade Commission because I’m informing American citizens of what our government is doing. Instead they keep suing me.”
In this infomercial, Kevin Trudeau boldly goes where Matthew Lesko has gone years before. But instead of ignoring or belittling his predecessor, Trudeau calls him a “hero” and shows off several of Lesko’s books. So why is Trudeau wasting viewers’ time when Lesko has already put out all the relevant information? With a straight face, Trudeau tells us that his smaller book with fewer pages is better because it will take you less time to read it.
We get an example of the kind of useful info in this Free Money book when Sara Underwood tells us about her personal plight. She says she just bought three homes (!) and asks Kevin if his book has anything to help her pay her mortgages. Trudeau then details all the ways the government will subsidize her real estate. In this time of economic distress rest assured the government is helping needy Playboy Playmates stay in their three homes.

When I saw this in the "Recent Posts", it just said "Playboy Playmates Tell You How to Suck..."

:PPP

^haha, yea that's what I saw too lol

You have to admit, the technique works. It forces his target market to watch the informercial, even if they're not interested ... and then, there's the slight chance that while watching, his persuasive prowess can convince you that the product is actually worth buying.

[jazzfreak11]

his persuasive prowess

Or lack there of...

However, Trudeau has had pretty good success with his products in the past. "Mega Memory" comes to mind.

I'm bumping this thread only because it has surpassed 4,000 views (for obvious reasons) and I find that hilarious.
This is my most viewed thread that I've started haha

I have a feeling people weren't searching for the fastlane when they found this thread.

Just another example of "sell results, not the process".

A commercial about easy money, sexy women and multiple homes? You pretty much covered something there that's bound to get attention from your average TV viewer.

fastlane maybe, but he's still a criminal.

[RyanDrake]

fastlane maybe, but he's still a criminal.

Kevin Trudeau is known for :

Promoting alternative medicine
Criminal convictions for fraud and larceny
Regulatory settlements with the FTC and eight state Attorneys-General for false claims and misleading representations
Founding the International Pool Tour

It's funny how he can still get his infomertials on tv
