Selling Snake Oil
27 April, 2010 - 17:06 | by fyl
Both here and in http://www.NicaLiving.com I keep seeing what I would call modern snake oil ads a lot more of the time than I like. They are not tonics and such but all too many have to do with Alternative Energy. And they are probably less useful than snake oil.
A lot of them are about a book or guide, delivered electronically that will allow you to cut your electricity bill in half for only a $200 investment or some similar scheme.
