Do I really want an as seen on tv?

I was looking for reviews of something I was thinking of buying. One of the sites that popped up was this one.

I'm still trying to figure out what a "does it work AND as seen on tv" is....
Does it come with a moss-covered family gredunzle? And what is the story behind the cousin who invented it??

Inquiring minds probably don't really want to know...
