I saw this ad on Audiogon and it cracked me up! Who wants to be the first to try it out?

This ad is for two (2) Signature Versions of the Clever Little Clock, buy one for $299 and get the second clock for half price of $150.
We recently found that when two Clever Little Clocks are placed side by side - touching each other - the effects are much more powerful than with two clocks that are not physically connected, which are also more powerful than a single clock . In fact, two clocks in physical contact seem to open up a portal to some undiscovered universe, a universe with a FLOOD of new information, dynamics and frequency extension.

Pretty sure they both know the audience they are targeting and are making fun of them at the same time. I think those clocks have been around for a while, but first time I think I've seen the CD light.

I wonder what the explanation is for a blinking light being able to rearrange the value of digits burned into the CD. It is embarrassing that these people make a living doing what they do. The Shun Mook disks are still around after about 15 years or so.

I'm pretty sure this kid has the earlier, industrial strength version of that thing.

I think most people can see this is snake oil, but there are so many overpriced products out there that mix science and pseudoscience that would fool many reasonable people without a scientific background. How about those $500 power cables. So you've got a $500 power cable, are you also upgrading everything back to the power generation plant. How about the affects of your wall outlet, the wiring in the wall, the breaker box, the meter base, the transformer that servers your house, the utility line that powers your transformer, the utility substation, etc.

Like someone great once said, "There's a Sucka Born Every Minute" so someone will buy this.

Here's a link to their "official" website. Check out the other products and their prices. It's a hoot.

I do have to say, at least he prices this stuff so that gullible audiophiles willing to spend money won't go jumping off buildings when reality hits.

This one has always been one of my favorites: The Teleportation Tweak.

The guy who owns this sounds like the evil Sheldon Cooper.

I love it! Wish I'd thought of it myself.

Like I said, pretty sure they know what they are doing and that there are people who will buy it. Kind of doubt they themselves actually believe this stuff does something.

(I) Kind of doubt they themselves actually believe this stuff does something.

They don't have to. As long as their paying customers do, Bob's their uncle.

Or maybe they're just having a laugh at the idiots who believe the stuff works, and the folks who take them seriously, like Andy Kaufman and pro wrestling. My wife never gets my absurd humor because everything's an inside joke between me, myself and I.

It sounds a lot like a Cephalochromoscope. I want one!
