http://www.yelp.com/topic/san-francisco-nefful-negative-ion-clothing

someone emailed me this link and I find it interesting enough to share. Especially to a comment one of the user made:

fascinating dialogue. back on topic, has the original poster ever bothered to check http://www.nefful.co.jp orhttp://www.neffulusa.com ? there are multiple contact numbers there.

speaking of the website, i noticed that nefful products now include shampoos, conditioners, nutritional supplements, and an EXCLUSIVE nefful clothing line. prices are on the website for anybody interested. also, you can find information on “the nefful business plan”, read “success stories” of the top distributors of nefful products (not stories of successful patient recoveries, mind you), and even register for the 2009 Nefful Gala at the beverly hills hilton (nothing but the best for nefful peddlers).  can somebody say Amway under a (pseudo)-scientific guise?

the real problem lies in the “negative ion science”. the “irrefutable scientific documentation” quotes the New York Times (not even close to a peer-reviewed scientific journal), a USDA study on dust (presumably relating to the ionic air purifiers, which is another hoax that has been documented to increase ozone in ambient air), and finally…here’s the clincher: *one* study in *one* UK hospital showing that negative ions from a *machine* “dramatically reduced” the incidence of infections. by the way, this study was nowhere to be found on PubMed, arguably the single most comprehensive database of scientific literature, be it biological, medical, or otherwise, in the world.  as anybody trained in the sciences know, this data has not been replicated reliably or even demonstrated to *work* in human beings. this is hardly “irrefutable”.

now your mother, friend’s great-uncle, father’s second cousin, or cat may have all tried nefful with success, but this “data” is just that–anecdotal evidence. this data would never hold up under rigorous scientific study. which is fine. there are many things that science has not and cannot prove. but when nefful, inc. spreads all this hogwash about the claimed mechanism of “negative ion technology”, and “educates” all its distributors in this manner, they are propagating deceit. in other words, they are lying. and remember what your kindergarten teacher said about lying? i’ll remind you: it’s bad and misleading and reflects poorly on your character.

so as r “rad” p and Christina C. bicker on about how everybody is “close-minded” and “talking down”, calling people “idiots” and using foul language to scold their internet peers from afar, the facts are there. i am not “talking shit about shit i don’t know”–i’ve clearly pointed out that nefful is misleading the public with shoddy scientific data. 

again, until i see a double-blind placebo controlled study, anything that anybody says is pure marketing.

to put my money where my mouth is: i am a physician and, along with many close relatives, have personally tried nefful in the “proper way” with varying results. by definition, “irrefutable science” cannot work half of the time. i am no longer 
a consumer of nefful products.

To summarize it, it basically says that singapore man sucks, period. I would like to defend for the men.

Firstly, woman ask for equalities. we give it to them. We treat them like a male counterpart, meaning, you pay for your own food and no if the toilet chair is up, you can put it down. Stop whinging. woman cannot call for gender equalities as it benefits them.

Secondly, they(meaning those girls in the videos) claim that man are stingy and money oriented. So have you ever wonder why are they like that assuming that statement is true. Its only because Singaporean woman are overly materialistic. You swarm over man who are rich and poor man can see that. Therefore we inspire to be rich, so that woman can swarm all over us. Or alternatively we go geylang and woman will also swarm all over us. Why do you think there are so many man who are marrying foreigner in Singapore and why do you think so many Singaporean woman are bitching about that.

Thirdly, woman are just hard to be friends with from a men’s point of view. Why you ask.

1. Woman expect man to be gentlemen and treat them well.
2. Woman expect man to pay for them even as friends
3. Woman are draggy and long winded
4. You can’t swear in front woman
5. woman don’t understand crude jokes
6. woman bitch too much
7. Singaporean woman too materialistic(how many carry LV and lives in HDB?) Even those living in condo alot of them are double income no kids. Kudos to those who are really successful
8. Woman like high tea(30-50 bucks) and man like Kopitiam ($1)
9. Accidentally touch you, you think I molest you.
10. Too much effort to be a better man in front of girls whereas I can be an equal with my mates.

To sum this up, IF I DON’T WANT TO GET INTO YOUR PANTS OR BENEFIT FROM ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I DON’T WANT TO KNOW YOU.

Don’t expect this and that. Man don’t have to take any shit from you just because you are a woman. GET USED TO THAT

It has something to do with seafood.

Still not getting it?

kk something to do with alaska

Well…. its the Alaskan fisherman.. They rake in 10 000 USD a week but have one of the highest job fatality rate. Who would have known.

And the highest paying job goes to being a surgeon. That goes to prove that brain > brawn

Happy New Year to all and while you sit there reflecting what you have done for the past year, maybe its time to think of what you are going to do for the coming year!!!  Each year hundreds of thousands for these seals gets clubbed to death in a campaign supported by the Canadian government for political gains.  How can anyone club these babies alive. FUCKING SICKO.

check out these “men” at work.  they should have their balls clubbed..

RIP to all the seals and hope you will come back a better life

Well, I think god is fair in his own rights. Every man can be assigned a value based on his wealth, success, family background, looks, charisma etc. Based on these points, he will probably get a partner of similar value.

Recently, my wife’s cousin in singapore married a Vietnamese woman.  Someone who is old (46) , jobless, houseless, carless, careerless marries a young and beautiful wife, seriously, what does he expect? Does he expect his wife to be homely, caring, obedient etc?  More then likely she marries him for the rights to continue staying in singapore.

If you want a beautiful wife that will listen to your every whimp, you have to be Hugh Hefner.

Well, thats where he is complaining now, saying how she ignores him,  how she continue working in a bar/pub accompanying other man to drink( and surely something else on the side?), how she spends money like nothing etc. well.. honestly i do not know what is he complaining about?

for starters, she earns more then him, feeds herself, is young and pretty and he gets free fuck all that for the price of a signature. If you ask me, I think he got himself a bargain.

This is another proof of evolution, human of better quality tend to mate together. The movie pretty woman where Richard Gere (a rich man) marrying a prostitute(Julia Robert) is well….. just a movie.  With all that wealth he will probably be sleeping with super models like Donald trump.

Firstly, does the robin hood(progressive tax) system work? Tax the rich to feed the poor. Well for a start, it closes the gap between the rich and poor. Secondly, it feeds the poor. Introduce more taxes like carbon tax as a reason to tax the rich even more while not really affecting the poor since they get rebate and other monetary incentives. So why are so many Australians complaining. Those people earning over 80k a year should be the ones complaining.

Now, why is this not fair? firstly, what happened to equal right? it  is obviously not very equal when someone who is in the higher tax bracket have to pay alot more tax.

Secondly, it gives absolutely no incentive for anyone to work harder except to pay more taxes.

Thirdly, since the people who had worked harder, paid more taxes, paid more medicare levy, flood tax, gst, carbon tax BLAH BLAH BLAH should be entitled to more benefits? Like priority queues in government hospital or their vote shouldbe counted as 2 vote. I guess the answer is no since the rich and poor are suppose to be equal?

Wait, hang on, if rich and poor are suppose to be equal, why are the rich paying more taxes?

I love number 15 cause its so true lol

 It’s an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don’t try to make it posthumous.

I learned something new today hehe Yay. I have always believed nothing comes free. For a pill to help u lose weight it must do certain stuff to your body. Maybe block your stomach or burn a hole. Either way there is no magic pills in this world. It will all come at a cost

Firstly… i don’t feel anything but that doesn’t means i am not happy. I don’t feel anything because marriage is just a piece of paper and i need this paper to apply pr visa for my partner.  I have to admit though, the most exciting part for me up until now is when I proposed. When i kneel down on my knees in the hotel room and showed my partner a flash animation that I made for her and asked her to marry me.  She kept me waiting while she took her time crying made me all the more nervous because I was waiting for either a Yes or a No.

Secondly, it is a very expensive affair. The wedding we were thinking of hosting is small and made up of only close friends and family but it is still expensive considering we have to pay for accommodations for friends and families that travelled to singapore for the wedding.  I am not rich and every penny spend on the wedding are hard earned savings. I calculated that I will need to work 3 month , working 2 jobs as I do right now and NOT SPEND A SINGLE CENT on anything to save up to celebrate 1 night.  I am very lucky because right now i have 2 jobs that both pays well. But if you take an average person working in singapore lets say earning 3.5k a month. That fucker will have to work 7 month WITHOUT  SPENDING A SINGLE CENT ON ANYTHING to save up for his wedding. That is fuking ridiculous. I guess no one ever think and appreciate how much goes into weddings.

Once again end of financial year is here and looking at my bank account, I still have nothing. That is  very sad considering I am earning more then twice the australian medium income this financial year. What am I doing!!!
