The reviews are funny and I find it humorous that under the "people who bought this item, often buy...." list, the second item was the "Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt". How better to show off to the ladies your extreme knowledge of making ones and zeros add up to even better sounding numbers through the the audiophile alchemy of combining copper and tin... than this little gem of the fashion world...

And did you look at the "user" pictures for that T-shirt? You will see Steve Jobs, Barack Obama and few other personalities wearing it!

My favorite review:
After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity.
Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary, and he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within five miles of my house.
Additionally, my cars began achieving 200 mpg and I didn't even need gasoline. I was able to put three grams of cat litter into the tank and drive forever.
What's more, the atmosphere inside my home became 93% oxygen and virtually no carbon dioxide. In fact, I now exhale oxygen.
One heck of a cable.
Didn't notice any improvement in audio quality though.

I read that the Wolf Moon t-shirt sales actually went through the roof. Apparently the vendor was making a bunch of new sales but didn't appreciate the irony of it. Money is money...

Do green-tinted old men turn you on? They do, but not necessarily because of how they look.

And it isn't necessary to leave the realm of Amazon(forget MonoPrice)if you're looking for speaker cable or that milk you'll want while enjoying the great sound.

Oh, the pictures of the milk are great.

This thread has certainly delivered the goods. Belly laughs in abundance! I followed more links from the page, because I had remembered some kind of large sci-fi vehicle that got similarly awesome reviews. Behold, the Badonkadonk Land Cruiser Tank. I also enjoyed the Uranium Ore and the Zubaz pants. Wouldn't you know that every one of them links back to that 3 wolves t-shirt?!

Yeah J.P., it isn't surprising that when we look at good stuff like the Denon and Audioquest cables that we're directed to other items of similar interest.

I didn't think anyone else would come across that, John. Very informative and it has helped me with my "problem". I was having a hard time walking around comfortably, but after reading that book it helped me realize that mobile sitting (as they call it in the book) is the only way to deal with a large hang down.
Sure it has its downsides, but I'll take them over a kink in my link any day.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

That's funny Cam. On another upside, you probably don't need this product either. The Nutbra Prolly NSFW, but not really that bad.

That's hilarious Murph. You're right, thankfully I don't need LOL.

Although it doesn't specify, I'm willing to put money on the guy in the middle coming up with the "Let's all wear wolf shirts" concept.
While I know it's cruel and unfair, he has "I wear a wolf shirt because it expresses my uber coolness to the ladies..." (/potential to snap and become a serial killer) all over him.

The last sentence is great: "Now you can have fun when you pee, never expose yourself and go where the homeboys go!"

At first I went Ewwwwww, but I have actually seen similar devices designed for female sea kaykers. Although they lacked the "distinctive styling."
