Amazon reader reviews of $500 ethernet cable are almost as funny as the price

This post isn't security related but since I used to terminate CAT 5/6 cables by the spool I thought I would share something hilarious I read on Boing Boing. I happened upon this post that linked to an Amazon.com product page for the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable that costs... wait for it... $499.00 USD!!! The price alone made me crack up (and cry for those poor hapless souls that pay that much for an ethernet cable) but it's the reviews on that page that really made an impression. To sample just a few:

"A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews." ... "I only gave it four stars in my review because I can't find music that is worthy enough to flow through this utterly perfect interconnect."

...

Don't buy these cables. Gold and silver are not good enough. If you're a serious audophile, superconducting cuprate-perovskite ceramic materials cooled to 60 kelvin is what your after."

I would love to add a snarky comment but this commenter says it all:

"You people shouldn't makes posts like this when I'm drinking tea...wiping it off my monitor is no fun, especially in the fourth dimension."
