Heard of Power Bands? No, I’m not talking about Bon Jovi in the big hair days, I’m talking about the amazing load of crap that is a hologram on a piece of plastic.

Well now the Skeptics are getting in on the act with their own version, the Placebo Band.

They claim their “new product which we believe will work just as well”, but I think otherwise. They claim the main advantage is their product costs just $2, compared to the around $60 for the Power Band. Well there for one is a major difference.

The Placebo Band will not only leave you with more money in your wallet, it will also:

• Make you not feel like such an idiot for believing a piece of plastic on your wrist will improve your life. Therefore improving your life from what it might have been.
• People who don’t pay attention will think you are wearing an Power Band, and thing you are super cool, making you superior to them.
• You will feel better knowing you are making the world a better place by thinking about how things actually work, instead of just believing hearsay.

Other possible effects of the band include:

• Possibly being mistaken for an “Over 18” wrist band, enabling you to get drinks.
• Glow under UV lights, making you a hit on the dance floor.
• Make you the next fashionista in Milan.
• Make you look sexier when laying on the beach.

So now you have seen something on the net about Placebo Bands, rush out and get one, you know it must be good for you if someone has written about it.
