Default Re: PICCTV.com - anyone seen this snake oil yet?

Only because it SHOCKS me that this sort of thing not only exists, but that this "company" has enough money/nerve to advertise FULL PAGE in things like Popular Science and Newsweek. I wouldn't have posted about the latest little gizmo I saw on ebay, but the scale of this is hard to believe.

Its one thing to hock 35 cent pieces of plastic that you stick in your air intake by placing tiny ads in obscure newspapers or selling online....but to make these claims in a full page ad, especially in a magazine targeting people (popsci) who probably know enough basic science to refute every claim made....that takes guts/balls/something.
