In the spring of 2009, country music star LeAnn Rimes and her then backup-dancer-husband Dean Sheremet listed their home.

I must confess I am a huge fan of the infomercial. And by "the infomercial," I mean infomercials as a genre, and not just the Slap Chop's.

They are a true piece of Americana -- advertising as entertainment. I very rarely see commercials anymore, as I record virtually everything I watch on DVR and skip 'em.

But a good infomercial?
