IRenew - do we really live amongst this many idiots?

[[UEAK]Clowd]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but, has anyone seen this commercial yet?

basically it's a bracelet that makes you run faster, lift harder, become a genius, sleep better, and just generally improve at everything in human existence.

and I'm sure people are buying it in droves.

 

[JeffTD]

Yeah, I know some people who wear those 'balance bracelets.' Fucking gimmick.

After seeing the ad many times on TV, I noticed that the company dude pulls people to the side or away from their body without the bracelet, and then pulls them directly down when they're wearing the bracelet...obviously, it's easier to balance when it's downward vertical pressure instead of horizontal pressure. Total scam.

EDIT:

Hahaha, apparently I'm not the only one who noticed:



Also, total sucker idiot customer here:

thought this topic was about a new IR pack...

 

[Aaron Smith]

Well, you will be able to position the mic in a more balanced position if you have the bracelet on, so it definitely pertains to IRs.

Here's the actual ad:



I especially love the doctor at 1:16...the guy sounds like a total slimy tool. And seriously, what kind of doctor would tell you that balancing your body's "energy" equates to balancing your overall health? And the vagueness of the terms "energy" and "your body's natural frequencies"...

Well, you will be able to position the mic in a more balanced position if you have the bracelet on, so it definitely pertains to IRs.

This is something like the Power balance shit everyone bought and turned out to be a scam with courts and stuff not long ago?

Good timing

 

[aberration]

But he's a real Doctorologist!

They were called powerbands or something here in AUS. but after a few years of sales, major authorities looked into the company and have now issued a recall and anyone who already owned one can now receive a FULL refund.

people are stupid.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

People are stupid. If I could figure it out I would bottle air and sell that shit. Maybe it could make you feel better or some shit. Fucking bottled air!

 

[egan.]

Yeah, I know some people who wear those 'balance bracelets.' Fucking gimmick.

Dude: "Yeah dude, it works by absorbing all of the radio and microwaves in the air that upset your body's natural balance."
Me: "So your mobile doesn't work when you wear it?"

 

[AHChris]

In my experience people will buy everything which has a little "i" in front of it

 

[ratsapprentice]

In fact I think this just demonstrates the extremities (relative) in the intellegence of our race.

 

[aberration]

It also demonstrates the power of the human mind/the power of suggestion.
