People are actually BUYING this stuff!
For those too lazy or afraid to read it, in summery it's a lacquer (which isn't so bad if you just want a cosmetic upgrade), BUT the claim is that by properly applying this, not even to the electronics but to the OUTSIDE of your karp, you'll notice a significant increase in audio quality. And, since people believe outright lies, you can bet that not only will people buy it, they will convince themselves it works.
I think that those that actually trust the obvious lies of advertisers need to be removed from the gene pool, or at least subjected to the classical conditioning I am about to propose...
A NEW HEALTHY, NATURAL, ALTERNATIVE, cereal! Wheat, Bran, and Shards of *$&king Glass! Buy it today! It has over 800% the daily recommended allowance of... I dunno, silicates and... fibers.... People need calcium, just add milk to this and this has it! Also, vitamin c, um, d, some other stuff. People need that too! *forgoes bothering to mention if this cereal even has any of that*
*Note, this WILL KILL YOU!
Sadly, at this point just a LITTLE bit more convincing advertising and I think this cereal would sell... Good advertising can turn ANY negative into a positive (provided you are a moron who has been deprived of any instruction on critical thinking methods), and outright LIES seem to be just fine too.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
