I had just so happened to stumble along another joke item for sale on Amazon (god there's so many of them these days), but this one was actually worth reading through. Especially all the user reviews. Blows your mind that some people would buy something like this.
AudioQuest Diamond 16m (52.49 feet) Braided HDMI Cable
Another small gem from the internet
Re: Another small gem from the internet
I might come off as stupid asking this but... apart from the price, how is the product a joke?

Re: Another small gem from the internet
If I may...
So... You still curious Lee?I decided to pull the trigger and purchase this cable because my Samsung 85 inch 4k HD 3D TV ($40,000 if you are curious, fantastic TV, only had to re-finance my house 4 times and sell a kidne. I only need one so why not right?) just wasn't getting the best with its supplied cable.
When the product arrived, which it did so in a timely manner (2 days 4 hours 26 minutes 41 seconds) I was surprised at how superb the packaging was. When I released it from its restraints I gently plugged the cable into the required ports.
This is where I was amazed. The picture looked better(Over 15M? Ok... Maybe a little?) than it had before which was already fantastic. Now I could literally touch the characters and feel their pain and happiness in movies (this became a problem in several war movies as my wife took 3 rounds to the chest and in the arm, don't worry she is in ICU being patched up). The audio sounded like that of a cascading waterfall while an ocestral symphany played Beethoven's 7th. I shed tears just thinking about it.
Now the reason I am giving it an average 3 stars is because of one major issue that may be ,to others, a deal breaker. After 2 weeks of enjoyment the Samsung TV I mentioned earlier and my blue ray player both absorbed the power of this cable to the extent they transformed into fighting robots and have destroyed my beloved house. I am now living in my parents house and lost all my possessions.

Often the comments make fun of certain items, granted. However, that doesn't make the item a joke item - someone seriously wants to sell it (or so you have to assume).Adagio wrote:If I may...
