To this, I can only say:
No shit.
What ELSE could such words be perceived as? Really?
Anyone who falls for such nonsense really deserves the swing of the Darwinian Hammer - anyone who has half a brain and a third of common sense knows to see that they're just selling spun web and snake oil. >.>
I think that all schools should be mandated a course in common sense - where the students have to sit down and realize basic principles like not accepting of anything without knowing what you're buying in to, that if you can't hold it then you can't sell it, that anything that appeals to laziness is not worth it, and that if it actually worked, then everyone would be doing it.
