Parody Audiophile Toys

Via Boing Boing:

A few months ago, I posted links to a couple of incredibly (and pointlessly) expensive audiophile accessories -- the $4,700 audio cable and the $150 block of wood.

Finally, someone has assembled some really funny and convincing ads for some parody audiophile accessories.

It's hard to pick a favorite -- the rock with a tube in it (pictured), the clump of clothes pins (or "PinneaEZ"), or the "Knutballz" (rubber balls with nuts attached to them).

Collect 'em all!

Pointless

Treadmobile

Why run on a treadmill at the gym or in your basement when you can run on a treadmill in the park or on public highways?

Also, if it has a braking system, it's not visible in the this video.
