Haha was only joking, you'd have to be a legit halfwit to get sucked into something as ridiculous as Christianity.

Oh, did I say that? I meant power balance bracelets. Yeah.

Anyone see today's SMH front page or website?

AMI aka the 'BONK' billboards boyz. A much scarier version of dodgy business tactics and practices, according to this SMH article:
The hard sell for longer-lasting sex

Yesterday the ACCC announced it had begun proceedings in the Federal Court, alleging among other things that doctors engaged by AMI had conducted consultations with patients in a manner that did not provide an appropriate diagnosis and medical treatment. The matter will be before the court in Melbourne on January 31.

The president of the Australian Medical Association, Andrew Pesce, said AMI's practices if proven would be a serious breach of acceptable medical standards.

Dr Pesce said there appeared to be a clear conflict of interest in AMI's model of operations, where diagnosis and treatment decisions appeared predetermined and medications were dispensed for profit by the same practice.

Surely only unbalanced people bought this product?

But hey, just had a few thoughts on a get rich scam.
How about printed circuits (on paper, but now using holograms) and a tiny bit of hardware to enhance your ESP?
