Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The heretofore unknown science of "earthing", patented by Clint Ober, is that your body needs to be earthed so that you can have the earth's antioxidizing flow of free electrons to go through your body and extinguish free radicals.

Earthing Axiom:

The earth's infinite supply of free electrons will neutralize free radicals in your body and will thus help to stave off disease and aging. YOUR BODY WAS DESIGNED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THE EARTH FOR MANY HOURS PER DAY.

Being connected via our barefeet to the earth appears destined to provide us with many far-reaching health benefits, which when coupled with modern medical prowess and optimum nutrition will offer mankind the best opportunity for health and longevity possible.

There's a whole ginormous website with this crap. Really, it's like snakeoil - it cures or helps everything. I wanna find the guy and tell him, "Look, there ain't no infinite supply of electrons. But you've proven there's an infinite supply of stupiditrons."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

YOUR BODY WAS DESIGNED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THE EARTH FOR MANY HOURS PER DAY.

And he's selling...what, exactly? 'Cause I can walk barefoot in the park for free.

Well, he says that it's not practical to be in contact with the earth for hours each day. So he's selling some pad thingie that does the same thing.

Oh, Jensen Ackles. I always thought he was extremely pretty, but breathtaking in a boring sort of way. Then he got a little older, put on a leather jacket, and started cracking wise, and now every time he's on screen in Supernatural, he's got a direct line to my lizard brain.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can't I just put dirt in my shoes?

Why isn't that man my president? Why?

Gah. I really, really hope he ends up running in 08.

Ann, that's a ferret.

So he's selling some pad thingie that does the same thing.

I'd think a box of dirt would accomplish the same thing. For the price of an empty box, which I could get free at the grocery store.

Yeah, but a box of dirt isn't in contact with the earth's infinite supply of electrons.

I'm not sure how his pad thingie is, but... somehow it works. Science says so.

What is even happening?

Well, he says that it's not practical to be in contact with the earth for hours each day. So he's selling some pad thingie that does the same thing.

So it's a case of, "This natural thing has so many benefits, that we recommend you try our synthetic version"?

Little pink houses, for you and me.
