PowerBalace Bands, Surely the biggest scam around?

We need to get some science in here, stat!

This is the sort of thing I'd expect Rubens Barichello to wear.

That is one thing that you won't get.

Whats the proof that they work. Surely something cant be banned with no proof it works.

I know anything could be banned. Maybe if I did the 100 metres in 8 seconds in a tinfoil hat it would be banned?!

 

[Morgoth]

if you moulded that tinfoil into some sort of cone shape it could be a winner.

A chap I play hockey with has one of these, and did the "tests" on me once. Its a joke... Placebo can be powerfull, but it will not make you any more or less balanced/strong

lol, lol, lol, is all I can say to this. Some people are suckers.

The amount of celebrities who believe in Scientology as well . . . .

not suggesting that just because they believe it, that it must be true

More commenting on the number of people they've fooled.

More commenting on the number of people they've fooled.

Not nearly as many as other main religions

Dr. Hibbert: Why, the only cure is bed rest. Anything I give you would only be a placebo.
Blonde Woman: Where do we get these placebos?
Man: Maybe there's some in this truck!
[the panicky crowd push over a truck, boxes labeled "danger killer bees" break open, the bees go everywhere and everyone panics, one man puts a bee in his mouth]
Man: I'm cured! I mean, ouch!

 

[Fr0dders]

i suppose thats the best way to sum something like this up.

Its almost like a religion.

People believe wearing the religious symbol of their choice can bring them good luck, protect them, all sorts of things.

Are these people any more "wrong" than the athletes that wear these bands ?

Interesting thought ...

 

[King85]

I'd say a good 50% of NBA players can be seen wearing these.

A proper scientific trail was performed on these, turns out they definitely do nothing at all.

I worry about the general public.

Most of the sports stars will be given them for free, and if there is even the slightest chance they work, well you may as well?

They are a load of crap though, I'm thinking of sticking the hologram off a disney DVD to my forehead and seeing how awesome I become.
