In Videos: Susan Powter Eats a Pear
Former dieting guru Susan Powter, (in)famous in the ‘90s for her “Stop the Insanity” catchphrase, is now blogging. Who knew? Here, a weird-ass video in which she extols the virtues of organic pears, complete with strange echo effects and almost pornographic eating.

Let's see how can I lable this:
Susan does fruit.
Fruit eating fruit.
Eating like a starving lumberjack is sooooo sexy.

Still crazy after all these years

Too bad her mother didn't teach her:
1. Don't talk with your mouth full
2. Use a napkin
3. Wash and comb your hair
4. Don't touch your hair with sticky fingers
5. Wash your hands before and after eating
6. It is not polite to lick your fingers and pick your teeth in public (video!)
7. If you wear too much eye-makeup, you look like a raccoon/hooker
8. Act like a lady, and you'll be treated like a lady.

3:37 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Amen, Perky, Amen.

Well I guess if I'm ever in need of Ipecac I could just watch this instead.

And another thing....STOP RUNNING YOUR FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR AND THEN TOUCH YOUR FOOD!!!!

Wow she looks amazing for being approximately 100 years old.

I was going to say she never looked that good before (botox) on tv.
It is amazing what clean living (and a few surgical procedures) does for your body.
How nice it is to see that she is still (full of shit) very much the same as ever.

She does look awfully young. Maybe it's all those organic pears .. pears .. pears ...

Too bad the background music isn't "Some Velvet Morning." That would really round out the "out there" effect.
hmcnally at 3:11PM on 12/10/08
that was scary...i dont think ill ever be able to eat a pear again!

Eating an organic pear? You're doing it wrong.
Ok, I pull the plug on my pear and eat it from the top down. You? Let's get a poll going.

This would make a lot more sense if you dropped some acid before viewing it.
buffy at 8:01PM on 12/10/08
why did you do that to me? that woman scares me!
Linnea Covington at 8:52PM on 12/10/08
She sounded/acted like she was on more than an organic pear, if you know what I mean.

Bit of a typo here - that's not Susan Powter, its clearly Chris Crocker.

I got through maybe 37 seconds. What's with the weird music?
Vincci at 2:49PM on 12/13/08
Ugh, that music! I think I gave up after 45 seconds and she seems to be in her own little universe.
