EyeBud can turn video iPod into big-screen TV for one. I can imagine the eye problems in people if this ever became popular. Lazy eye will look good compared to the messed up eye these people will have. How good is it to focus your eye an inch or two in front of it, never mind both not working together?
Hey!
I’ll have you know that the Weekly World News (home of Batboy!) helped me get through my thesis. There’s only so much heavy-duty thinking and statistical analysis any one person can do. After a while, I found myself just kicking back and laughing at the latest Elvis sighting or alien abduction. The WWN helped keep me sane, I’m telling you.
Any book by Kevin Trudeau and/or Sylvia Brown.
Anyone who buys Hyland’s Homeopathic Teething Tablets for a teething baby. This is Stupid on three levels:
- It’s just a sugar pill.
- And yes, it work, because…if you give a piece of candy to a cranky baby, amazingly, he perks right up, distracted. “Hey, candy!”
- Six bucks for 125 pieces of very, very tiny candy.
I just saw a commercial for buying tax foreclosed properties.
Some putz; “Buy my material and I can show you how to find tax foreclosures in your area.”
Pitch; “You can get this $180,000 duplex for $250, or this $125,000 home for $400!!”
Right, like the previous owner couldn’t cough up a mere $250 or $400 to keep their house.
Sounds like the hitch is that you might have to pay the city $400 in back taxes but the home will still need to be purchased (with maybe a no-money down type of contract with the seller paying the closing costs - therefor you’re only out the $400 in back taxes but you still have a loan and a mortgage on the property).
Even thought they interview people who’ve allegedly purchased such properties who claim they don’t have a mortgage. “Yay!, Thanks to Putz, I was able to buy this lovely home for $89 and now I have a place to store my cats.”
Also, the Cricket. for only five payments of $49.99 you can own this neat little thing that cuts shapes out of paper. Additional shape cartridges and paper stock may run into the $$thousands.
As a regular purchase, damn straight.
But I loves me some good stupid when I’m going camping or up to the lake. (Which means I buy one about once every 3 years).
Read it, laugh at how stupid it all is, throw it in the fire before you leave.
Head On.
Espcially since in that ad, they AREN’T saying it. When the phrase is used in the add both spoken and in print it is done as a question not a statement of fact and gets them around the truth in advertising laws. They didn’t say it, they asked it and so it does not have to be true.
whoa, back up…Manna was bug droppings???WTF where can I read about this?
and Gift cards.
Anyone who is stupid enough to buy into scientology deserves to lose their life savings. And should also be sterilized.
Oooh, that gives me a great idea for a product. “Pastor Ponder’s Miracle Breath Of God”. For, like, healing or whatever. It would consist of a box with fantastic graphics and bible quotes and stuff.
The good thing is you don’t need to sterilize them. Just take away their V1@gr@ and C1@li5.
My ex-wife did this for me. I didn’t have the energy to tell her it was a scam for morons – not after the arguments about reflexology, therapeutic magnets and multi-level marketing (in which her argument was based on a refusal to accept the results of basic arithmetic).
I was at vitamin store the other day to get cinnamon extract tablets (there’s actually clinical evidence it helps diabetics metabolize sugar). I noticed “ear candles” on the counter and asked the lady if people actually buy those. She said, “Yes! You should see all the wax they get out of their ears!”
Whats wrong with gift cards? I got about $150 worth at Christmas and last friday I used them to knock $150 off of the purchase price of the camera I bought.
An Arky:
As others have understood, I meant specifically through spam.
Sophistry and Illusion:
Unfortunately, they will constantly be getting offers to buy more.
Jesus Christ, at least with most snake oil you at least get a show. And You don’t even get a magic pebble with these asses.
But the Miracle Manna is free. Sez so right on the linky thingy. And if it’s free, I’m gettin’ me some! Cuz if there’s anybody in need of a miracle, it’s the ol’ Sunrazor.
Wait a minnit! I just had an idea! Watch for Sunrazor’s Miracle Native American Energy Herb, cultivated from the seeds of a little-known native grass found only along the banks of the Platte and Arkansas Rivers, ritually processed in a secret spiritual ritual taught to me by an ancient Arapaho shaman.
Jesus. I looked at their Brilliant Pebbles and it’s like a bad joke. A plastic bag of little rocks you tape to your speaker wire or whatever. The picture itself made me feel ill at the stupidity of mankind.
Uh… huh? Am I missing something, or are these candles not themselves made of wax, and since wax doesn’t evaporate in Earth’s atmosphere, all the pooled wax accumulated from the candle burning is really not that much of a surprise?
