RE: Advertisement received



And then there was the man who stood in his front yard waving a
handkerchief.  When his neighbor asked "Why are you waving that
handkerchief?" he replied "It's to keep the elephants away."

Neighbor:  "But you can't keep elephants away by waving a handkerchief at
them."

Man:  "You don't see any elephants, do you?"

Clearly only my own opinion, and sorry Melissa for the diversion.

Hi Susan:

The proof is in the pudding. When there are no observable effects 
using the sticker, the conclusion is that it did in fact prevent 99% 
of electromagnetic waves. There's a good foundation for this 
methodology, although not scientific. Remember how the Federal 
Reserve took credit for maintaining a very low inflation rate by 
constantly raising the fed funds rate, several years ago? Inflation 
was low, so their policies obviously worked. Right? Of course there 
are those, such as myself, and more knowledgeable financial experts, 
who said that there was no inflation concernes in the first place. 

The advertisement plays on these same fears, and will undoubtedly use 
the same conclusion methodology, and sell even more stickers! Be the 
first on your block to purchase one!
