"Improve your focus, concentration and lower your golf scores by getting a Q-Link pendant today."

How can people by this shit! What it is, is a necklace with a piece of plastic on it. And it apprently makes you better at golf. Give me a fucking break. OH, and only for the low price of $129 +

I saw an infomercial for it on TV today and was blown away. For golf infomercials I ussually think, its probably a scam but it atleast has something to do with swinging a club, but this was just ridiculous. It talks about how it ressonates your biofeild and all sorts of other crazy shit which apparently makes you drive the ball farther.

This is from the FAQs
" Are there any enhancements to the technology?

The next generation pendant contains the latest enhancements to the SRT technology, SRT 3™, which enables the device to more efficiently resonate life-supporting frequencies in your energy field, providing a more powerful response to stressors. Most people will realize heightened energy, notice a quicker effect and have more rapid return to centered emotional balance.

LOL K.

I saw a commercial for those fucking rip-offs.

They actually work.

Why do the actually work? Because the only people fucking stupid enough to BUY them MUST believe that it works. Thus, they will feel as if it is working.

Yes true the person who invented it must be a genius, but I think $129 is pushing it a little bit. By say $100. I mean seriously how much would it cost to make one of those 12 cents?

Yeah, now when ever they hit a good golf shot, they're like, "Good thing I got my $129 piece of plastic around my neck or else that shot would have been horrible"

If it's more expensive it's more desirable.

$129 for a necklace. I don't know whether I should feel bad for: The people who buy it, or the fact that I never thought people could actually be this stupid.

Filler text.

I like that infomercial.

"I just feel better!" - Could have given you a placebo for 100 bucks too and you'd feel the same.

Anyone who buys them doesn't deserve money anyway.

A total rip-off, yes, but people actually do buy that shit. Whatever. Can't be any crazier than some of the shit that religious people spout around here.

Sadly, there are a lot of stupid people in the world and con artists to take advantage of them.
Believe me, from news stories to the web, I have seen idiots that would make Beavis and Butt-head blush.

I'm fucking shocked man I've never heard of them. People who buy them must have a brain hemerage or something I swear to god.
