Infomercial for $90 "power" candles

Dr. Linda Salvin is a “spiritual doctor, famous psychic, healer, medium” who sells Wicks of Wisdom, $90 candle sets alleged to have special powers. The Rebound Power candle “reverses negativity to the sender” and the Sweetening Judgment Power candle is “excellent for court cases, legal issues and brings them in your favor.” (Martin Shkreli should hock his Wu-Tang Clan album and load up on that one.)

“I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t believe in the power of Wicks of Wisdsom” says Salvin in her spectacularly avaricious infomercial. “I have testimony after testimony, and I would not be wasting my time, my energy, or my reputation on national TV. Wicks of Wisdom works, like a prescription for your soul.”

The infomercial co-stars Kris Jenner (who she?) as product pitchman.

The YouTube comments on the video will have you weeping with shame for the human race.

Here comes JR “Bob” Dobbs to set things straight:
