Amazon and eBay

Everybody want's to be a comedian these days, or so it would seem. More than anything else the Internet has created a wonderful repository of information of the crazy things that people do, say or get involved in. There is no site on the internet that is any better than eBay or Amazon for giving an insight into the off the wall humour. Both are big companies that are essentially serious in nature. But every now and again on eBay someone wants to sell their spouse or alternatively someone will write a mind boggling review, on one or more Amazon product.

A typical Amazon product that has been the recipient of a colourful review is the "Guardian Angel" which the product description claims that it is a Korean acupressure device.  You may have a different opinion as to what the device actually is...

Here is a typical customer review:

It's in here somewhere. With me. Woke up this morning to find that my Guardian Angel had shattered. The inside was slimy and green. Moments later, heard a skittering sound behind some furniture. Found that during the night, phone lines had been cut, and all the doors and windows are shut with some kind of Super Glue like substance. My cell phone has been smashed. I can't get out. It didn't cut the cable internet, so I've got online to warn you, don't buy the guarslkdj;al b bbbbbbbbbbbbbb,,,,,,,,,,,wke;lj

Feeling better now. Everything is fine. I will be sending a Guardian Angel to all of it's friends, family, neighbors, and associates. All humans must get one. Five stars. The most relaxing experience ever. I will never have another worry ever again after buying this product, and you will feel total fulfillment in service of a force infinitely greater than yourself. Buy it. You will never know pain after you feel the slight pinching at the back of your skull.
