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.
This clips gives a good flavor of what you’ll see on the Free Money infomercial:
Bwahaha.. He expects us to believe the playmates can actually read?

Ms. Underwood looks…cushy.

I refuse to believe that burgundy dress was sold as anything but underwear.

LOL. Great post. I guess Trudeau thought that it was either dressing in a suit made out of dollar bills and screaming “FREE MONEY” from the front steps of a government building, or acting like a pimp on TV.
And, if she can buy 3 homes, she don’t need no help paying mortgage!

Looks like you finally saw it. To be honest, I haven’t seen it since the one time I caught it…and instead of listening to it, I had it on mute and was just staring at the cleavage. Is that wrong of me? Oh, wait, this is Trudeau…so no, it’s not.

Has Kevin Trudeau spent time in prison yet for (pimping)? Has Sara or Kara, the two Playboy Playmates actually read his new comprehensive book? Can they read?

My son (15 yrs old)was flipping through the channels this morning and stopped on this only because he saw these 2 girls(he said “these girls are so hot!) He even had me google them and that is how I ended up here. This is so funny, Kevin is so serious and does not even act like he notices them, or laugh when they ask stupid questions.

I did the same thing channel surfing! Suddenly stopped when seeing two blond babes Kara & Tara, showing serious cleavage! Knowing right off the bat I’m watching a “Scam” infomercial! Why else use two hotties showing their tits? Though there are other infomercials doing this same tactic too!
Can’t believe this show actually works selling anything? It preys on your desire of “Hope” to be in a better place, and I guess many figure what the hell it’s only $29.95, I’ll give it a try?
This book probably was a quick put together so he can sell millions and write it off and paying his $37 million dollar suit!

Yes this ad caught my attention while channel surfing. The only reason I watched it for 30 minutes was to see Sara Underwood. She is smoking HOT! But seriously there is no way I’d purchase anything from this scam artist. On the other hand Sara could discuss a box of rocks and I’d listen.

“SEX, LIES & INFOMERCIALS”: Watch as Kevin Trudeau makes an ass of himself whilst having a series of elaborate heart attacks, going on for days about the Government NWO Tinfoil-Hat Death Vendetta Of Doom…getting so fired up about the many vast Reptillian Illuminati plots and the fear of Bigfoot (who assassinated JFK while riding a Cyborg-Nessie-Powered UFO with Ameilia Ernhardt & Jimmy Hoffa)………..that he totally is oblivious that there’s two blonde beauties in lingerie sitting right next to him!!!!

sweet chicks, stupid prick!

“Sara & Kara” are disgusting…and I think that this is just another way in which Kevin Trudeau sinks yet another MILE lower! The 2 chicks who are “hosting” this infomercial not only make Kevin Trudeau look even MORE inbred than he normally does, but they couldn’t make sense of a word he is saying if they’re life were at stake!
As seedy as it is, I heard that he literally hired these “women” after meeting them at a club in Miami…judging by their appearance on this infomercial, it looks like they met at the club, went back to “his place” for a couple of hours….and then shot into the studio from there! NASTY, NASTY, NASTY!!!! I’d like to hear what Hef feels about the Playboy name being attached to this con-man…? Maybe I’ll ask him!

I’ve seen another one with this assturd, this time with Sara and Denise instead of Sara and Kara; I think it started airing about a week or two ago.

Haha. Only Reason I’m on this blog is cause I’m trying to figure out who the really hot girls on TV were at 0530. I really had no idea what the infomercial was about after I watched it because I spent the whole time focusing on the girls.
