Is This For Real?

http://www.jigaloo.com

Really? Something like WD-40 that I've never heard of and with an impossibly fake sounding name?

It says it was invented by a Quebequois. Mayhaps one of our northern bretheren can enlighten me?

It appears to be an actual product.

Here's a link to the Marketwatch story about it from about a month ago.

I won't buy it on the principle of their website being fucking annoying.

So how many idiots do you think are using this as a "personal lubricant"?

Actually, leading to my incredulity of the product, I saw an ad for it on Comedy Central. Between the name, how fake the product looks, and that I saw the ad on Comedy Central, I really couldn't tell if it was real or not.

I'll stick with WD-40, thanks, this just seems too weird all around for me.

IMO, annoying characters swimming and flying all over the screen behind what I'm reading is not smart.

My dad used to put WD-40 on his knee. He swore it helped.

I think I've heard that there's some scientific basis for WD-40 helping with arthritis, but it's been a while. This sounds like a job for Snopes...

When I saw this thread title I was expecting a new member asking about the movie passes, Panera gift card, and free fondue set they'd just won.

You thought I was a new memeber?!?! Hmm...must work on that.

I hope you weren't disappointed with the thread.
