In Reply to: Question for legal types, how close is this to universal satisfaction, World Wide?... posted by Wellfed on June 28, 2007 at 21:54:07:
I thought this was a joke. I checked it out and it appears to be serious.
The scary thing is that there are apparently people willing to fork over $60 for such a 'product'. What exactly *is* the product here? Signals sent to the customer via telephone are going to make his audio system sound better - amazing.
PT Barnum was right!
Someone call Michael Shermer; he'll *love* this!!!
