...AND...if you act within the next 13 minutes, we will send you free of charge, THREE immolating strands of beautiful barbed wire! Amaze your friends as you attempt to take EVERYBODY out of the game with this incredible immolated wire. This wire is unreal: it can be twisted and twined, tossed and tangled. It can even be used to bring down SPARROWS and other innocent creatures from Nature's vast array. Give anyone with a sense of humor large purulent wheals all over their body. But if you don't ACT now...ALL of this wire will be gone, gone, gone. Supply is limited, and so is intelligence; so please act immediately, and if you do, we will also suspend your driving privileges for a period of ONE FULL YEAR! THat's right, folks...a full year of suspension--but only if you call this number RIGHT NOW: 1-800-PORCINE.
