It’s for those occasions when there’s a black hole passing through your house. Gotta be prepared.

I once had a Best Buy sales person tell me “the improved shielding helps with magnetism”. I stared at him for a sec and said “if there is enough magnetism in my house to bend light, how my stereo sound really won’t be one of my main concerns”

How fast would it be spinning? 33 or 45rpm?

I used to sell TVs for Best Buy back in the day. The Video Department manager, my boss, set up a display side by side to show the difference between $40 Monster cables and the normal cables that came with a DVD player.
When there was no noticable difference, he went into the TV settings and adjusted the settings for the normal cables to make the picture look like shit. Not all customers are that gullible though, so usually one of the more savvy ones would fix the settings. So my boss would have to go in and fuck the settings up again once or twice a shift.

This is for-profit deception AKA fraud.
But does this legally qualify as fraud?

If this kind of thing were legally actionable, all salesmen would be imprisoned.

Hey man, you realize everytime you turn on your stereo your couch starts sliding towards it?

But how many people do you think he used that line on and it sealed the deal?

Given the results of the 2016 and 2024 elections in the United States? Way way WAY too many!
