Universal Bullshit Detector Watch
Status: Real merchandise
I received the following email from legendary hoaxer Joey Skaggs:I am very pleased to announce the launch of my latest endeavor. Unlike many of my previous satirical projects, this one is real, no bull. It's the Universal Bullshit Detector Watch.
Joey sent me a follow-up email to let me know that he'll be sending me a complimentary Bullshit Detector Watch. Yes, sometimes running a website about hoaxes has great benefits. I'm definitely looking forward to getting my hands on one of these. I can think of many uses for it. It also seems like it would make a great Christmas present for a skeptic. They cost $50, which is the same price as the Swatch watch I bought a few months ago.

As it would seem this item is wearer activated, it could only be as accurate as the users hunch! I gotta get me one of these! It would beat the hip-waders...
Posted by Christopher in Joplin, Missouri on Mon Nov 13, 2006 at 04:21 AMObviously, the target market for this product is people who don't have functioning bullshit detectors of their own.
Posted by Big Gary in Waxahachie, Texas on Mon Nov 13, 2006 at 09:49 AMNice. I so want one of those. If I had $50 of course, which I don't...I need a job.
Posted by Razela in Tucson, AZ on Mon Nov 13, 2006 at 10:28 AMActually, it relies on people's functioning bullshit detectors. You press the button when you hear the crap, and then it makes a sound. Not the other way 'round. This is a gag gift that will do well as Christmas presents for paw's and granpaw's.
Posted by thephrog on Tue Nov 14, 2006 at 09:25 AMI think you miss my point, phrog. I was trying to say that people who are able to recognize complete hooey would not be likely to pay $50 for a "Bullshit Detector Watch."
If this sounds like a good deal to you, I have some Bioenergetics Gas Pills you might want to buy.
