A US company has developed a system of identifying those amongst you who may well be be missing the higher brain functions conducive to intelligent life.

From those clever folks at http://www.powerbalance.com/ comes the Power Balance Holographic idiot identification tag!

Those who's braincells have more room to move around than the rest of us will be taken in by promises like "Power Balance will not make you stronger than you are, but is designed to help make you as strong as you should be by interacting with your body’s natural energy flow. "

But don't let your pet village idiot take it from the company who haven't done anything at all to prove anything, take it from the myriad professional athletes who add their testimonials, or the the Daily Mail!

Remember: Pseudo-science is cool kids!

    "I put my first Power/Balance bracelet on two weeks before the National Championships. I took 2nd place and felt amazing. Race after race I got faster and faster. I just finished my season with a bronze medal at the World Championships in Australia. I have never felt clearer, calmer or more focused. Power/Balance has taken me from good to great!"

  • So how on earth can an inanimate hologram work, surely there must be some sort of scientific explanation.
    Power Balance is based on the idea of optimizing the body’s natural energy flow, similar to concepts behind many Eastern philosophies. The hologram in Power Balance is designed to resonate with and respond to the natural energy field of the body.

    Well that's convinced me, I'll have a dozen

    My mobile has a hologram on the battery. That makes it ultra awesome. I can pick up calls from Aliens.
    Excuse me while I take my medication.

    Me too. I took the order anyway. They are probably a bit pissed off at the wait, so we can expect an invasion anyday now.

    Yeah i'm not sure on their intentions at the moment. I ate their pizza, and had my carrier block their number so they couldn't call, but they've been praking me alot.

    Sorry I didn't realise it was a joke. I was being sympathetic.
    One should never laugh at a persons unfortunate afflictions.
