					<description>RichVR - afraid I have bad news my friend.  I have been found guilty of having a conscience and am therefore unable to sign you up for my newsletter.  However, should you find yourself slightly (and I do mean slightly) less conscientious (and I know that prolonged unemployment can have that effect) do feel free to take the idea and run with it.  Just make out the royalty checks (22.4% off the top) to Stark, Semi-Evil Semi-Genius.

You may have to cut Kiro in on the deal as well since he definitely helped refine the pitch.  Alternatively you could just have him &quot;taken care of&quot; and add his mysterious disappearance to the pitch as &quot;co-inventor was silenced by Big Friction and Really Big Oil to keep their profits&quot;.  Whatever works for you.  Note that I keep a full time security detail about my person so the same tactic will not work on me.  And yes, I did just create new cabal out of a force of physics who's goal is to keep making money in concert with the oil industry.  That's a freebie for ya.  ;)

Seriously though, sorry to hear about the work situation.  I'll keep you in mind if see any job leads around. 

Maybe you can get Dan to send you some of his gadget review backlog to do.... </description>

					<description>Okay, Stark you've finally done it. You have breached my wall of decency. You have convinced an unemployed IT consultant that there is only one way to go. 

I am interested in your concept and would like to receive your newsletter.

The ground floor sounds wonderful to me right about now. Heck, I'll take a refrigerator box on the steam grate next to the ground floor.

What do you need? I'm not one for HTML or any kind of math, but I can write bullshit that would make your head spin. 

My High School internship was at an ad agency until the busted me for developing pornographic pictures through the film lab they used (on their dime). True story.

I also used to be a bouncer and bartender. I am a jackass of all trades.

End CV

Call me.

					<description>I like the Swiss angle, especially the CERN part. Perhaps you can claim they wiped the inside of the LHC to improve it's efficiency too, it no less speeds up light itself! The main ingredient is a good shout, but I'd also say it includes N2O, just for an added bit of irony ;)</description>

					<description>I think I'll set up a web page for it including testimonials from average people... using the Onions regular average people pictures for them of course.  Also, I'll put Vladamir Putin, Che Guevara, and Ted Kennedy in there for good measure.

Love the Russian truck angle Kiro but I was planning on making up a nice Swiss testing agency to lend it some foreign mystique, and we all know those Swiss are trustworthy types!  Hell, maybe I'll just claim that it's been tested by CERN and they've &quot;Never seen anything like it!&quot; I could also claim that its main ingredient (H20) is used extensively by NASA!

All I need now is a snappy name.... I suppose SuckerSpray would be a little too upfront eh?  How about DiHydroGo! ?

So, who wants in on the ground floor?  ;)</description>

					<description>Dagnamit! I've spotted at least 2 grammar/spelling mistakes in there and I read it about 5 times. How about an edit feature Dan?</description>

					<description>It's not bad but I think your improvement claimed improvement is a bit too hign. 60% is probably a bit too high even for the morons that buy into this stuff. I'd shoot for &quot;up to 30%&quot; to keep it manageable. Also, mention that you've run tests in Russia on big army trucks or the like and like Dan says, you can't forgot to claim your product has been tested by California Environmental Engineering and found to be just as, if not more awesome, as the Moletech Fuel Saver. 

But otherwise I love it. For added effect try selling a limited/super edition in a special wooden box and claim that it's line with a macroscopic ( ;) ) layer of super magnets that help keep the spray AND cloth in perfect condition by re-aligning their positive IONs. Oh and the box can make your car SOUND better if you tape it your exhaust. That one will get the audiophiles on board too. Gotta tap as many markets as possible you know.

Damn Dan, you really are making is all into scam artists extraordinaire! </description>

					<description>Hrmmm... I think a possibly new scam has just occured to me. At least its not one I've seen about...

*****
Did you know that the 2 biggest thieves of fuel economy for your vehicle are air friction and rolling resistance!?  Now, through the miracle science of our quantum vibratory technologies you can nearly eliminate these problems and increase your mileage by up to 60%! By using our newly formulated quantum technology nano-polymer dihydrogen monoxide spray you can greatly reduce these mileage robbing issues!  A quick spray over your entire vehicle and tires will make amazing improvements in your mileage!!!  For the amazing price of just $199.95 you will receive a 5oz. spray bottle of our amazing product - that's enough for one compact car!  (We recommend 2 bottles for full size sedans and 4 bottles for SUVs, minivans and pickups due to their increased wind resistance). If you order 3 or more bottles we'll even throw in our special anti air-friction glass cleaning cloth!! Order TODAY and SAVE tomorrow!

&lt;i&gt;No returns, refunds, or money back guarantee of any kind.  Claims have not been verified and may in fact be complete bull****, but you're so gullible you'll believe anything we tell you if there's enough exclamation points in the description. Offer void where illegal (though you can always purchase it over the net because you know it's only been outlawed because of the vast govt-oil company conspiracy).&lt;/i&gt;

*****

So, how's my pitch?  I'm thinking bright red white and blue packaging with a faintly US patriotic theme to sucker the gullible and patriotic here in the states... other packaging suggestions for different localities would be welcomed.  :)</description>
