Picture this: You wake up late due to a power failure that reset your alarm clock in the middle of the night. On the drive to work you get a flat tire, which you change in a rainy downpour. You then proceed to get stuck at every traffic light on the way. When you finally arrive at your office, your coworkers seem indifferent towards you. There is no coffee left in the pot, and the stapler on your desk is missing. A terrible headache sets in. You dim the lights, close the blinds and avoid the phone for the rest of the day.

Sound familiar? If so, you're obviously the victim of a vast conspiracy! That's right. An elite group of agents is conspiring to ruin your life by infiltrating every part of your existence and psychologically breaking you down.

Sound hopeless? Don't worry, there's new Reynold's Lead Foil® from the makers of Aluminum Foil! This heavy, pliable foil is perfect for covering windows, light shades and doorways, all while providing thorough protection against conspiracies of all sizes. Lead Foil® can even be used to fashion a protective hat that will prevent covert agents from recording your thoughts. Cover your body in this miracle foil and you'll be undetectable to everyone... except a mirror of course!

So what are you waiting for? Call from a secure line today!

*Warning: wrapping food in Lead Foil might lead to death.

Inspired by the Apple iPod, we are proud to present to you: the Lemon cryPod.

For new parents-to-be, the cryPod is a useful learning tool demonstrating how to distinguish between the various cries that a baby is capable of producing. What better way to help them get ready for the arrival of their own screaming bundle of joy?

And in laboratory tests, listening to the cryPod has been scientifically proven to work as an effective form of birth control for all the single folks out there. The 1.21 gigawatts of sound that this "baby" cranks out sends them running to the nearest prophylactic aisle every time.

Featuring a sleek, streamlined design, the cryPod comes with these pre-programmed cryTracks: Feed Me Now!, Poopy Pants, Baby's Got Gas Pain, Please Don't Leave Me Alone and No Apparent Reason, to name a few. New lithium-ion battery technology allows for up to 10 hours of uninterrupted wailing.

If you order within the next ten minutes, we'll even throw in a complimentary all-access pass to the cryPod website. When you log on, you'll be able to download previously unavailable cryTracks, including the extended versions of Colic Fit and My Sister Took My Teether Away.
