Hatstand
I thought those spouses were so good, I paid for three of them!

Ouch!

I used Lar's GROUP coupon
 
Kept the hatstand lost the hats (forgot to put them in the pre-nup)

Man, come clear, it was a 2 + 1 deal.
At least they let you keep the hatstand.

Can't afford a hat though.

She can leave it on.

Short people got no reason to live.

I always watch for user reviews loaded with hyperbole: "This Studio Projects C1 sounds EXACTLY like a Neumann u87!!"  How many times did you read that one the web?  Or my personal favorite "This UAD plugin sounds like ass compared to Waves", or the variant, "Waves sucks compared to UAD."  When you read that stuff you know the reviewer hasn't used any of the equipment he's comparing his stuff to.

Grubby little fingers and dirty little minds.

review scores.. and advertising in mags .."hmm" a bit of a conflict.  as did happen years ago when a video game "renegade 3" got an amazing high score.. the game was awful... the game maker had loads of adverts in the mag that month.
 
I wrote a bad review for a jog wheel on amazon, that they didn't publish.. and the maker avoided returning emails also.. awful service.
 
I've been on the other side of it last year, and had to take legal action against someone who was writing lies on social media,  the person in question had to pay up. Wasn't a big amount I got back, and it tied up my money for a year.. but he will think again about writing such things online, I'm sure. it's amazing the other 3-5 I wanted to go after all started deleting their comments regarding me.
 
I'm not the sort of person do hire lawyers, but it got to the point where out of principle I had to. Odd they were quick to slate me.. yet not talk about the apology.. and the ring leader even "liked" the apology,go figure.

My favorite: "it was like a veil was lifted" (usually applied to audio interfaces and oxygen-free cables). Another red flag is the phrase "night and day" (usually in reference to console emulation or equalizers). "Enhanced sound stage" for speakers (I don't even know wtf that means; left is on the left and right is on the right?).
 
I think some of those writers are inspired by wine reviewers. Or worse, audiophile magazines.

I'm of the opinion that 86.327% of every comment/post/review on the inter web is paid for in some manner.
(except this one)
