With a Name Like Vince Offer, Infomercials Were Inevitable

In 2004, Vince Offer, an ex-Scientologist, sued the Church of Scientology, alleging it had declared him a criminal and had urged its members to "write false and malicious reports against him." This came after his film "Underground Comedy Movie" tanked. Technically UCM was a film The New York Post gave zero stars as they indicated it was what "may be the least amusing comedy ever made," but still! The honing power of adversity appears to have pushed him to focus on what is obviously his secret skill: the pitch. It's great to see people doing things at which they naturally excel. Even if sometimes they sound a little bit like a jerk. In this case, especially when they sound like a jerk.
