It's that same stupid bastard who then registers for all the Home Theater forums, just so they can post it in their signature...

I should put this in my sig:

If you really want to laugh, check out the reviews of this piece of snake oil on Amazom.com. My side was hurting for hours!

http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AKDL1-De...3811215&sr=8-1

Especially the "refurbished" one.

ROFL look at the comments on that amazon page - they're the best:

"A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews. "

G.P. - It gets me closer to the lord:
"If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that's compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely -- like white, holy light. Holding this cable in my hands actually makes me feel that much closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. I only make $6.25/hr at Jack In The Box, but I saved up for three months so I could have this cable. It sits in a shrine I constructed next to my futon in Mother's basement. "

NEWEST REVIEW....ITS MINE!!!!!!!


BEST CAT5 CABLE EVER! AMAZING! 8 copper wires!!!, June 18, 2008
By Brandon Williams - See all my reviews


This is the best CAT 5 cable I have ever seen. The copper pairs are utterly amazing. The copper is actually imported from Heaven and twisted into pairs by Bill Gates with the help of Steve Jobs. They hand twist them for the best quality possible. The plastic on the end is actually hardened silicone from Pamela Andersons breasts. It puts out AMAZING sound and looks awesome. I showed it to a buddy of mine and he was like "thats a cool cable" and I was like "NO, its a CAT 5 cable" and he was like "NO WAY, how much?"

DEFINETLY SELL A KIDNEY AND BUY THIS!!
