This has got to be the best ad ever posted!! It's good to see someone still has a sense of humor.

They really work. Hurry up and order. Limited supply due to oil spill.

I read this one, too!
I hope it'll wake up some people.

That is so WRONG! Everyone knows the rock colors MUST MATCH one's chakra and this can only be done via professional consultation. Please contact me for referrals.

I wonder which aquarium/fish store those came from?

Nice try indeed.

Seems like something nathanm has the patent on, or at least very similar.

ummmmmmmm...................

....did you actually read the ad the link takes you to?

I'd say this guy has his tongue squarely in cheek, that is, it's satire. Seriously, didn't this line give it away;
"Our products are kept in a daycare where all the children and pets smoke."

That line made me blow my morning coffee out my nose a little.

Sheeeeesh! People....

I sent my kids to a smoking daycare, I mean the lady who ran it was smokin..as in WOW!

Funny indeed.
I, too, loved the part about the daycare with the smoking kids and pets.
Seems that it's now a mandatory, boiler plate statement to make to state the opposite when selling something.
Hats off to originality and someone's freed up time.

My smoking pet rocks could use some company. Their bored with the dust bunnies and the fact that they flame out when the pet rocks light up. I think I'll start saving aluminum cans for this venture. Hope I can get enough cans before their all gone.

Very funny! It reminds me of the responses to that Monster Cable ethernet cable on Amazon.

This one is pretty funny too:

A $1500 Bose subwoofer that extends down to 55 Hz!

Do these correct for phase imbalance too??? If they do, they're a steal at that price.

I wonder if the seller would take 5 bux, just so I could have them around to play the joke on friends. Would be worth it to have if the packaging reads the same as the ad... They would think I had gone audio-neurosis mad!

I think you somehow missed the humor,bummrush.

The Magic Audio Rocks were intentionally funny. A 55Hz subwoofer is just sadly funny.

I would proceed with caution. The pet rocks AFAIK are typical mineral rocks. The Magic Audio Rocks are fossilized dinosaur dung. BIG difference.

BTW, the Magic Audio Rocks are very polished and shiny. So even though the old saying "You can't polish a horse turd" may be true, apparently you CAN polish a dinosaur turd.
