There’s gotta be a million of those dumb center-scrolling ad websites on the interwebz. They all look the same, appear to be made by the same person, and they’re all trying to sell some piece of garbage for 3 low low payments.

My favorite I stumbled on this morning (thanks to [cracked.com](http://cracked.com)) is CAPTAIN CHRIS’ CLOSE COMBAT TRAINING (_!!!_). Man is it a piece of work.

What’s even more awesome is how ridiculous all that is after watching the short clips on the website. These _ **super duper unblockable instantly paralyzing death moves** _ are basically a “karate chop” that you do wildly to anywhere above the shoulders.

List of awesome:

- Tons of out of control spelling errors

- Try to close the page out; instantly reduces price and yells at you

- “As Seen In” isn’t supposed to mean “Placed An Ad In”

- Tons of bolded, underlined, italicized, highlighted **_WORDS!_**

- Epic douchebag gaze 

- Uses intense WARNING!!! message to get you to click on the link.

WARNING: Do Not Read This If You Have Moral, Ethical Or Religious Reasons Against Hurting (Or Even Killing) Someone Who Violently Attacks You, Your Wife Or Your Kids

And yep, you guessed it, this program is:

BANNED BY THE GOVERNMENT!!!

DEVELOPED IN A SECRET LAB, BY BILLIONAIRES, TO PROTECT AGAINST NAZIS!! (wait wtf)

CAN BE LEARNED IN MINUTES!!!

> Even though it costs $14,987.00 per lesson to learn this system in my private school… I have just “arranged” it so you can learn this advanced combat system in the privacy of your own home… FREE.

Best part of this is apparently 30,000 people have been retarded enough to buy it for almost a hundred bucks each. :picard:

Anyway hilarious read if you’re bored at work. I definitely recommend watching the videos.

I think I should start signing all the source code I write with this. It makes everything sound more awesome.

The self defense one is so funny. I went to the site to check it out and when I went to go back to the previous website the page says to “Wait” and another window comes up and takes $30 bucks off of the price for the dvd’s. Lol
