… but I’d be a flat-out liar if I didn’t say that the following is 100% what I do when I see one of these commercials:

In fact, I can’t hit the change channel button fast enough.

Updated to add: You know, now that I think about it, there’s a lot of commercials that make me react that way. Another example is friggin’ Montel Williams shilling for Money Mutual. As soon as I hear “Hi I’m Montel…” the remote is being crushed in my hands as I desperately try to change the channel.

This is why anything that I really want to watch ends up being recorded on the DVR so when I get around to watching it I can skip anything that would make me change the channel. If I’m just browsing the channels either of these, and a host of other, commercials will pretty much guarantee that I stop watching whatever the hell I was watching.

Sci-ence! updates “The Red Flags of Quackery” to version 2.0.

Quite awhile back I posted a webcomic by the guys over at Sci-ence! all about “The Red Flags of Quackery” that was a nice little primer on the buzz words and concepts that should warn you that you’re dealing with pseudoscience woo-woo bullshit.

Now they’ve gone and put out a new version 2.0 of the comic:

This really is an excellent guide to knowing when you’re being bamboozled by someone or some product. Another good warning sign is when you see the words “THESE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED BY THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION! THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED TO TREAT, CURE, OR DIAGNOSE ANY ILLNESS OR CONDITION!” That’s legalize for “This product is 100% horse shit and only an idiot would buy it.”

If you’re not already following the Sci-ence! web comic, I’d highly recommend you do so.

That’s a very good question, Joseph.

You do have to question his not mentioning it previously.

Truly something to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving day.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised…

So wrong and yet I can’t help but laugh at it.

Update: Thanks to Google Image Search, I’ve tracked down the origin of this webcomic: Fredo and Pidjin. The Webcomic by Eugen Erhan. I’ve added him to my Google reader.
