Hogwash

[Simpo Two]

I just wanted to post this product as an example of the highest BSI (bullst per square inch) that I've ever seen.

And spot the fake reviews...

They do a turbo version too!

But is it suitable for vegans? Does it remove meat?

Where is Advertising Standards when it comes to these useless You Tube ads?

I don't think the ASA has much clout over an American company selling Chinese goods. Traditional British bowler hat bureaucracy managed by politicians doesn't work very well in a global internet marketplace. Once it's off our shores they're powerless - just see all the phone fraud from Africa and the Far East as an example.

Caveat emptor; let only the stupid waste their money

Any media broadcasting advertising is subject to Advertising Standards in the UK. AS should be investigating and making a fuss about it - if nothing else.

There's theory and there's practice, and we already spend enough on civil servants. Just like with immigration, things have changed rather a lot since the rules were set up.

I know someone who would probably buy that. They put stones in the dog's water bowl for some supposed health benefit. "Ancient Chinese wisdom" or some such nonsense.

Isn't that to stop the dog pee from leaving brown patches on the lawn? That's been around for years.

Edit to add: I think that this is the stuff - https://podiumpetproducts.com/dog-rocks-work/#:~:t...

That's hogwash too. The nitrogen in dog pee doesn't come from the water it drinks, it's a product of metabolism!

And another - found when looking for pot plant supports...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/szutfidy-Support-13-5-inc...

'Our electroculture plant stakes harness natural energy from thunderstorms and air to promote healthier growth and quality for your plants and vegetables... By utilizing electro-cultured copper antennas, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers while maximizing atmospheric energy to stimulate plant growth, saving costs and increasing crop yields.'


ETA I see it features 'all-natural wood' too!

Disappointing lack of turbo encabulation.
