Peddling Snake Oil - The Khaos Super Turbo Charger

Photos courtesy of Ghosthunter If you drive or are at least into cars, no doubt you've probably heard at one time or another about the Khaos Super Turbo Charger . It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe...

While things have quieted down a lot in the blogosphere, the "incident" from several weeks back has left a bad taste in a lot of bloggers' mouths. I'm sure you have an idea of what I'm referring to. While all of us have moved on from that rather disconcerting episode, it is almost regrettable that I have to bring to your attention a recent development that should be nipped in the bud. And sadly, it may just be the same characters as before. Several months ago, I introduced a friend and officemate to blogging. You may probably still remember her, her name is Ning. Her blog was named So to Speak... , and it was once located at http://ninggarbo.blogspot.com/ . In the course of maintaining her blog, she apparently made the mistake of entrusting her Blogger account password to another fellow blogger who graciously volunteered to freshen up her template for her. While all was fine at first, she slowly got irked by the fact that this blogger started manipulating her bl...
