That whole comment about being "on fire" really struck a nerve with me. "He was on fire for life." My dad used similar words when I lapsed into a depression shortly after graduation, he said "What happened to that person who just graduated and wanted to set the world on fire?"
Yeah, well, it's called decompression, dad.
These testimonials all say something very disturbing. "It works." What do you mean "it works"? What are you looking to work? "It worked ON my kid" is what they mean. Like it's a fucking car wax or something. Just apply and let dry. I learned spanish in 20 days with this program. Make great cash in real estate, no money down. Just set it and forget it. I'm surprised Ron Popiel hasn't opened up his own TBS. We'll fix your kid, no problem. You want some new upholstery with that?
Then, like any crooked mechanic, they beat the shit out of the car, to incur more costs, keep pushing back when it's supposed to be ready, won't let you even see their "progress", and when you do get it back, it works for a little while, then breaks down completely.
