So these highly popular power balance bracelets have failed double blind tests and it can be shown that the company selling them uses very simple tricks to make people think they work (that is, they never do "tests" with the bracelet first, thus the subject is warmed up and knows what's coming when the bracelet comes into play).
Obviously the company and it's well payed marketing tools deny what the study has found. No surprise there.
What I do find surprising, not for the first time, is that we need a damn scientific study to expose such a thing as a scam. Honestly, is our species really that retarded? A piece of rubber with a "hologram" is supposed to make you better at sports. Really?
This goes to show that we really ought to teach our kids more clear thinking and skepticism. This is not rocket science. People should not fall for such obvious crap.
