3. The damn thing looks just like another 'device' sold by the same guy

IMModerate found the other one. It's basically the same thing except it's red.

I'll bet anyone a whole quarter that both are either empty or filled with dirt. How can people actually spend money on something like this? I just don't get it.

7. Damn, another one?

Why people buy stuff like this boggles my fucking mind. This shit makes homeopathy look commonplace.

12. BTW, I'm working on a new invention

I call it the "Tesla Quantum Kaballah Abdominal Resonator". It relaxes the individual and negates all negative auras by harmonizing with the subtle quantum vibrational energies located in the human rectum.

Oh, and it looks something like this...

19. But they obviously work!

Notice that he's managed to write entirely different copy for every single offer.

They must be really good; and at $89.95, how can you lose?

5. Too bad it doesn't check your spelling.

"high initiates and Phaoroh himself."

Or protect against numerous missing image links.

8. My favorite part

"All matter comes from a primary substance, the luminiferous ether," stated Nikola Tesla.

Mr. Tesla was wrong, very very wrong. The luminiferous aether theory was disproved in the famous Michelson-Morley experiment more than a century ago.

It's sort of telling that they chose to use this particular quote in their advertising...

9. Someone posted something remarkable similar that had

something to do with Kabbalah. Not the same thing, of course--the Kabbalh one was red. :eyes:

What I can say is SCAM.

16. No, but I can say

"crack vial."

Put your crack in this thing, wear it around your neck, and the cops will think you're some sort of New Age Mystic instead of just a garden-variety crackhead.

20. Bwuahahahahaha! Pure fuckin' bullshit.

I gotta start selling those damned things! They look like those nitro holder necklace things for heart patients.

Stupid assholes.

But I'm at the point now where I give credit to the hucksters. If people are too goddamned stupid not to think for themselves, they deserve to lose everything they own to hucksters and snake oil salesmen. Maybe then they won't be able to breed.

21. How did I miss these?

I think they all have the "lost cubit" in common.
