It does look like a panic attack waiting to happen.
Have you seen those little “gold magnets” that go on your ear to help you stop smoking?? If not look here: www.zeromedstore.com
Please make this stuff go away.

It’s a homeopathic link-you aren’t supposed to actually click on the whole link at the same time.

What are your votes for “anybody who buys this needs to go in a database for immediate sterilization” products?
I’ll lead with one that, I warn, is going to be pretty hard to beat:
Peter Popoff’s Miracle Manna Loaf

Peter Popoff’s…Miracle Manna Loaf. Sounds like a porn title.
No love for The Athena Institute whose ad has appeared in the back of how many magazines forever?
It looks like she finally tried to update her looks, though.

Well, I don’t know about her stuff, but a couple of Dopers have had good luck with such products.

I know someone who got into the Weekly World News. Their tale of escaping twelve-foot waves on Lake Erie during a freak storm was true enough. The water monsters were a complete fabrication.

See?? Awesome job!

Yer kidding.
Next thing you will tell me is that sea monkey’s for sale in the back of magazines are not as big as the adverts.

Cousin told my husband that it is supposed to “boost your immune system, kill cancer cells and make your hair grow”. She now has cancer in her liver, spleen and spine in addition to the breast tumor.

Yeah, but how’s her hair looking?

Did you see the video at the end of the page with the normal-looking umbrella that flexes in, so you don’t collide umbrella tips with another person? Genius!
[/QUOTE]
Indeed. Because moving your umbrella up or down three or four inches was always so much trouble.
That “free” personality “test” that Scientology wants you to take!

I believe that is a toy spin art machine and that the logo/legend is fake.

DVD RewindeR - get yours here
I can’t quite tell whether they’re selling it as a gag or not - but since it comes with a recorded rewinding sound, I’m guessing yes.
Sleel, a four-minute workout may do wonders in getting you buff, but if you’re going for actual cardiovascular training - ie. keeping your heart and respiratory system healthy - you need to work out for at least half an hour.
Considering that the home page for that site includes the text: “Don’t get caught with old gags and worn out jokes.” I think it’s settled…

Not a product, but the commercials (usually run at night) prompting me to put my unwanted or scrap gold in an envelope, and mail it away for cash.
They still run the ads, so there must be people sending them gold. I wonder if the people who’ve been ripped off are too embarassed to take legal action.

Please let’s not include a very well marketed way to fence stolen property in with the magnets.

Which is why audiophiles tend to take to blind listening trials with the same gusto that vampires take to garlic.

No, no. The problem is the inherent poor quality of the Monster cables. It’s not that the coat hangers are as good as monster cable, it’s that monster cable is as bad as coat hangers.
To really hear the difference, you’d have to go with the 4 guage, zero-oxygen, gold wrapped with diamond-encrusted, $1000 a foot stuff. Not that gawd-awful consumer-grade stuff that is Monster cable.
The only decent audio cables are made of the melted down gold teeth of Holocaust victims. Very pricey.
