Will some kind soul PLEASE tell me who Alex Chiu is, in 25 words or less?

I am SO out of the loop it isn’t funny, and I keep seeing “oh, no, it’s Alex Chiu” stuff all over the SDMB, so I wanna know, “who the heck is Alex Chiu and why should I not post any links to him?”

A Google search brings up tons of hits; I gather he’s some sort of faith healer/magnetism pusher. Is there a “25 words or less” answer to this? I don’t watch much TV, and I don’t have cable either. Would that explain my astounding ignorance?

It took me a long time to figure out what the “Survivor” thing was last summer, too. :rolleyes:

He is the little brother of the W***e of Babylon. :stuck_out_tongue:

As already has been said he sells rings that will make you live forever. :rolleyes:

If you get a certain amount of people to visit his site you get them free.

This board was mentioned on a section of his site as a place where you could gets lots of clickthru hits. We then had to put up with a week of two of spammers coming here and posting hit and run posts with links to the dipshits site.

He is a jackass. He was interviewed on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show. 'Nuff said.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have now added his website to my “Mom’s WEIRD Stuff” Favorites folder, right next to the Weekly World News. The Immortality Foot Brace alone–I worship at his shrine. I lay my soul at his feet. Forgive us O Holy One, for we have strayed after false gods such as Ronco and Popeil, but now the scales have fallen from our eyes, and we realize that thou, alone, art Master.
