Santo Gold

Santo Gold was brought to my attention by a friend of mine who was actually fortunate enough to see the original informercial.

Santo Gold was a bizarre, poorly made infomercial that ran constantly on late night TV across America in the late 80s. Hawking what looked to be low quality jewelry, Santo Gold's awkward writing and patently ridiculous claims have made it one of the more infamous examples of the neglected infomercial genre. Adding to its surreal nature, Santo Gold also hyped Blood Circus, quite possibly the world's only "supersonic spacewrastlin' movie," a pet project of the shadowy figure behind it all, Santo Rigatuso.

Info about Santo Gold can be found here (be sure to check out the theme song), and here. Thanks to Rob Williams for the tip.
