The Power Balance bracelet is being sold in a few stores in Tyler Texas and throughout the whole country. This hologram bracelet fad has taken off beyond my wildest imagination.
When I first heard about the healing powers of hologram bracelets and an MLM opportunity to sell them I just about fell out of my seat laughing. The idea that a bracelet with a little hologram sticker can some how balance your body, cure headaches, allow you to achieve straight A’s in school and so on didn’t seem like something the mass public would fall for.
Power Balance Scam
I was way off in my confidence in the American public as even some of my own family are believers in the Power Balance bracelet.
My cousin wears the EFX brand of balance bracelets but there seems to be a never ending list of balance bracelet companies out there. The price is always in the range of $20 – $40 and some companies claim more radio frequencies in their to further balance your body above and beyond their competitors.
The added frequencies claim reminds me of that Spinal tap movie when Joemeek’s SC2 stereo compressor, known affectionately as “the green box” has an input gain knob that goes up to 11 compared to other stereo compressors which only go up to 10.
The insanity surrounding these bracelets continues to amaze me as actors, professional sports players and successful people in my own family buy and wear these on a daily basis.
My cousin commented about the EFX bracelet:
“Susie and I have the EFX brand and I have noticed a significant change in my lower back pain.”
Videos about the Power Balance bracelet show vague promotional lingo that steer clear of actually factually saying they really do something. You will hear things like “promote balance” or “may do this or that”
What you won’t hear from company spokesmen are verifiable factual scientific statements that they are proven to cure a headache, back pain, and other such nonsense.
In my mind the Power Balance bracelet is nothing more then a scam just like the EFX, Q(chi) ionic/biomagnetic bracelet, Q Ray bracelet, and the plenitude of other sucker bracelets out there.
It will take you about 2 minutes to go out on youtube and research how these balance demonstrations really work. They are easy to do carnival tricks but turn thousands of people into balance bracelet wearers everyday.
TJC Cleaning Up Campus
August 3rd, 2010For those who go to TJC like my wife you may have noticed over the last many years a lot of ghetto hollering player wannabe’s on campus harrasing women as they walk to their cars.
This will all change this Fall semester as all students and faculty must where ID tags on a necklace around their necks. I for one am very happy about this change. Anyone having been at TJC for the last few years is probably happy as well.
Let me tell you a little story about why we are so happy about this new development for those who don’t like ID necklaces.
I have seen it many times before but just wrote it off as young punk kids and went on to class. It wasn’t as bad when I went to school at TJC but in the last couple of years it was getting down right ridiculous.
I interviewed a couple different groups walking around on campus in the past and asked them “what’s up?” and so forth like I am another typical punk wondering around looking for some booty.
Both times they told me they didn’t go to school there but were just chillin’ and so forth trying to look fly and other nonsense. So I got the picture that TJC had become a better Wal-Mart type of hook up location where gangsters can meet slutty women they can take back to their crib and maybe get them hooked on some crack.
TJC had truly become an undesirable place for me the more obnoxious these player types began to be. It got really bad to the point that everytime I would walk to my car to go home after class I would see atleast two gangster looking dudes with some big fat gold chains and stuff asking for women’s numbers as they went to their cars.
My wife would get these guys doing the same stuff to her when she would leave for class at night.
She started interviewing teachers and students and many of them would tell her the same thing and that they felt unsafe leaving class to get into their vehicles at night.
TJC had become a hang out spot for drug dealers and player pimp types.
Thank goodness TJC has implemented a new policy that requires all students and faculty to wear a student ID necklace around their neck to indicate their status.
This ID requirement could not be more needed than it is now. TJC was becoming a criminal hang out for awhile there.
I personally know of a family member we are not real happy with who married one of these pimp player drug dealer people that were not students of TJC.
They met out at the parking lot probably as he was yelling, “Hey girl can I have yo number!” and she actually responded well to this?
They got married and now this guy is in jail for felony robbery and drug dealing.
TJC thank you for doing something truly beneficial after so many years of security guards only being good at issuing parking tickets.
