Power Bands
« on: February 10, 2012, 09:27:26 AM »
Great story:  http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/07/3416171/company-led-by-brett-sued-over.html

Really if you are dumb enough to buy crap like this you deserve to lose your money.  I use these "bands" as a way to classify people that I meet.  If you are wearing one, I have no interest in trying to have any type of intelligent discussion with you....but I would love to sell you a small pebble ,collected from my driveway,  that when placed inside your rectum just prior to a date, will give you a 48% greater chance of getting laid.  Only $29.95.  Email me at  [email protected]

Was in Huntington Beach last year and these were everywhere.  Stopped to see why everyone was wearing one:

Me:  What are these things?

SnakeOilSalesman (SOS):  Power Bands - gives you more core strength, better balance.

Me;  How?

SOS:  Algorithms

Me:  What?

SOS:  It's got algorithms embedded in this chip in the rubber?

Me:  What do you mean embedded?

SOS:  Algorithms....written on this chip.

Me:  What do you mean "written"?

SOS:  Algorithms

Me:  Well what are the algorithms computing?  What's powering them?

SOS:  Your body's energy.

Me:  But I don't understand?

SOS:  Algorithms.  Algorithms.  Do you want one or not?

Me:  Not.

SOS:  Suit your self.  Thanks for stopping.  Algorithms.   Holograms.  Core strength.  Algorithms.

What people don't realize is that the more you wear of them the more effect you feel. If you wear just one you probably won't even notice, so that's where people get confused. I'm wearing 16 of them right now and I can basically balance without even thinking about it.

I guess Firehouse is more of a power ballad band than a straight "power band."   :dunno:

LOL at this guy banging that white house party crasher bitch.  I do have to admit that I saw Journey with their new lead singer Charlie Perry and they were incredible.  Think the whole group was wearing those rubber bracelet thingys that are supposed to improve your core strength..
