Yeah, these guys are wild. Eugene Hütz, their lead vocalist, represents, for me, everything that is right with Eastern Europe, though the band members aren't all of Eastern European decent (I think the line up currently stands at one Ukrainian, two Russians, one Israeli, an Ethiopian, two Americans, and one Scott). They are the only band I know to ever make use of Trubas. I highly recommend their latest album, Super Taranta!, to anyone who likes different/quirky/quality music.

I love idiocy like this. It justifies me acting like a smart-aleck.

"Are you poising yourself with unavoidable toxins from the food water and air we breath?"

Because we breath water and food.

I also love how the foot pads remove "cellulite...and more!" considering that cellulite is a condition, not any part of the body.

"Koniki also contains ions to refresh your body and enhance your overall wellbeing."

Ions? Awesome! You know where else you get ions? Food! I'll be like sleeping with my feet in a bowl of fruit salad.

On the subject of Q-Ray Bracelets (I got get quote out of Sky Mall, that shopping magazine airlines give out):

Like acupuncture, yoga and tai-chi, the Q-Ray Bracelet is based on traditional Chinese medicine. The exclusive process that goes into every Q-Ray is designed to balance the negative and positive energy forces in your body to achieve a state of “Chi,” where you will feel and perform at your best.

Like acupuncture, yoga and tai-chi... Unfortunately, yoga isn't at all Chinese. Hell, yoga is about as Chinese as I am.

"Achieve a state of "Chi"? Chi (qi, however you want to spell it) isn't a state, and isn't a goal to be achieved. I'm not going to try to define what chi is, but suffice it to say that the mere notion that you can "achieve a state of chi" demonstrates that their philosophies are more in line with that of Ivar Kreuger than anything oriental.

Space-bred super roaches! Russia, how could you be so foolish! If they escape the lab, humanity is done for!

Even worse, America let the Russians beat us to the punch! We could be mere months away from the first generation of Russian space-bred super-children that can kill with a thought!
