5 cheap versions of pricey products

Tech gadgets and status items -- even cars -- can be had for a lot less than you think. How about an e-reader you can practically pay for with change you dig out of the couch?

Just proves that the American market is everyone's money maker. Why? cause here we just bend over and let them rape us at will. Don't believe it ? Just look at the cost of a college textbook here and the same one use outside the U.S. Better yet look at the tuition costs of a U.S college vs one in the Cambrian Islands. Hey here they even bill you for the KY jelly they are going to use on you !

Cheaper? It runs on disposable batteries. I'd rather pay for a kindle than change batteries 10 million times.

I wanna know what these people are smoking!  I seldom smoke...but when I do..I prefer Acapulco Gold with my Dos Equis!  Stay high my friends and don't forget to share your joint with the ladies.

Yes yes yes, buy the cheap junk.  Better yet, buy nothing at all.  Just build a small shelter, buy a used blanket or two from Goodwill, and eat roadkill.  Save money, save the planet, live a fine life under the stars.  Think of all the health benefits.  Oh, and bury all your after tax pay checks down deep in the ground under the overpass.

If the dude rides shotgun a woman can easily lean over and suck the semen out of his wiener.
