Yes, I ordered mine and it made me report it to a mod! Amazing. ---

Nah, I don’t think the OP is actually trying to sell anything. ---

We don’t tend to like posts consisting of one sentence and a link. The vast majority of people are NOT going to click on that link. They’re also going to think less of you as a poster. ---

Hmm. On the one hand, the guy is clearly a scumbag, ruthlessly exploiting morons for personal financial gain. On the other hand, if people are stupid enough to give this man money, I can’t really blame him for taking it. ---

BTW, why is the link in the OP to Google, but actually resolves to [this page](http://doubtfulnews.com/2013/04/popoff-scumbaggery-continues-selling-miracle-water-to-wash-away-debt/)? Why not just link directly to that page? ---

Why not just link directly to that page? I can answer how: probably had a Google search open and copied the link from the search page, instead of the actual page. Shame you asked why. Are you sure you don’t want to know how? ---

OK, I will say it- anyone who sends money to Peter Popoff after the multiple exposes’ just deserves to lose it. Alas, I’m too ethical to set up something where they can lose it to me. ---
