Why he might be annoying:

    He has a golden retriever named Beau and a cat named Willy.
    He found that approximately 95% of company advertised claims were totally accurate.

Why he might not be annoying:

    During a newscast a gunman held the news crew hostage.
    With a gun in his back, Horowitz, calmly read the demands of the gunman and assured the safety of the news team (1989).
    After the incident, it was determined that the gun was a toy and Horowitz fought for legislation outlawing authentic looking toy guns.
    He has helped many consumers get fair treatment from businesses.
    He said: 'Life is full of compromise, but to compromise principle is to give up your self respect. I don't want anyone to take me for a sucker, and I don't like to see anyone else taken, either.'
