Enough with the freakin magnets already!! (and other snakeoil scams)

TV in China is great for all this crap. Constant ads for breast enlargement cream, bras with magnets in them, a pill and drink combo for growing taller (featuring 16 year old girls who grew THREE INCHES in just SIX MONTHS!).

My favorite part of the ads were always the animated diagrams with moving arrows describing how energy circulates in breasts/shin bones/whatever, followed by miraculous growth, with all the required sound effects.

In case you’re interested, the sound of bigger breasts, if the ads are right, are something like “bblbblbblbblbblBBLBBBLBBL WOOOOOSH!”
