Heat Surge

Heat Surge? What is it?
As you know, I am a sucker for infomercials, they are as entertaining as they are ridiculous. I came across the Heat Surge, which is basically a great way to stay warm...Amish style. From the website it says:

What is the Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow Electric Fireplace?
"The Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow electric fireplace with Amish made real wood mantle, is the best and easiest way to: save money on gas bills by heating just the rooms you use the most, have a beautiful real wood mantle handmade by the Amish, he ambience of a real fire, and have the convenience to simply move your fireplace from room to room."
Also, they state:
"The Amish are known for their kindness and humble pride in a job well done. They separate themselves from mainstream society and are recognized for their plain clothing, avoidance of modern conveniences, and superior craftsmanship."
I just like how they are exploiting and marketing Amish craftsmanship. I wish I could find the commercial! I've looked all over. It's just a bunch of Amish people cranking out Heat Surges sweatshop style.
