 (grin) I leave the radio on 2CH (geriatric radio) and the lady with
the magnetic underlay even goes so far to explain how it works (iron
isn the blood is magnetic). She also states that taking
anti-inflammatoriy drugs is bad for your health.

 I'm tempted to write the the AMA as if I believe it, and abuse that
lesbian doctor for not warning the public that magnets works so well
while doctors are poisoning the public (Iheard it on 2CH). I suspect
that might get a result, and get rid of a very annoying commercial... 

 Geriatric Radio is really interesting. They seem to think that
anyone over 50 is an idiot, and it's a worry... advertising does
work.

 There's another one after the Pan panic that states their pollen
capsule has "never been near a laboratory." I'm tempted to write to
my Member of Parliament that someone is selling stuff made in their
back yard without any testing whatesoever... on their own admsission!

 2CH has more than it's share. John Singleton has a lot ot answer
for.
