Bigjoe- there was some guy on eBay a while back - perhaps he's still doing it - who was offering to 'host' an advertisement on his bald head! I forget whether it was a tattoo or temporary thing, but the price was pretty steep as I recall. By far the best sales pitch I've ever read on any e-trade site was on eBay and was widely publicized. It was some guy selling his ex-wife's wedding dress. He modeled the dress himself, hairy chest and all, but that wasn't the funniest part. The guy's sales pitch was bust a gut laughing hilarious! I think he ended up going on several talk shows as a result of the auction and his pitch. I'm sure you could still find the listing somewhere on the Internet though the auction was long over. I think it had something like 12 million hits when I viewed it and that is no misprint! Marco |
Here's the eBay listing for the famous wedding dress guy. It broke an eBay record with over 6 million hits by auction's end! You can find articles about him online doing a search under "ebay wedding dress guy" Marco |
The theory being the very best cables come from the bodies of the most scantily clad women. They grow'em right outt'a their breasts and derriers! Based on the same theory those automotive tool manufacturers use in creating those wonderful calendars. Personally I would not purchase a torque wrench that was not endorsed by a beautiful naked woman. Naked women are actually the authority on virtually all products that a man could ever want. Wann'a know the very BEST there is? Ask a naked woman...or at least a woman in a bikini. I wonder if there is an entire staff of scantily clad chicks behind Consumer Reports? I really should visit their home offices!! Ever notice how when your wife wants something from you in the ways of domestic chores, personal gifts, favors, or general consent on some issue, that it frequently is brought up before, during or after sex...when she is at least partially or fully NAKED!?! They know about the other head, and the pea-brain contained therein! Or maybe that should be "pee"-brain? Marco |
Y'don't need no stinkin' blue LED's! Just tits and ass. You could sell pickled farts with T&A! Oh, and if I ever request my wife bend over that way, you can bet it ain't gonna be about reduction of standing waves. If you can get your wife to agree to having several asses around your listening room my hat's off to you my friend, although if I had several asses like that surrounding me in my listening room I think the music would be the last thing on my mind.

Here's one from just today for a pair of interconnects, a direct quote: "Smooth and tube sound cables" It's not the poor use of english that is as amusing as attributing a "tube sound" to a pair of interconnects. Incidentally, they are a pair of Goertz...like in that horrible interconnect-brassiere advertisement (on which there is another thread here on the Gon'). Perhaps he meant "boob-like" sound? Marco |
