An Inquiry of Gigantic Proportions

Things just seem to get worse and worse for that Dante C. Raspeller.  In his depression from all his other failed efforts to improve his life, apparently now he's taken to eating himself into a big, fat tub.  Luckily though, he has the chance to change all that, thanks to a wonderful product...

Behold, InstaTrim!  Not only will this cause super fast weight loss (meaning it must be safe and healthy), you can even get a free one month supply when you pay only $8,000,000 to have it shipped.  Well, maybe not that much, but it was close.  Still, it's just too good a deal for me to ignore.

Hello fine friends!

I've sent this message all week and gotten no reply.  This does not give the best of feelings, please respond, ma'am!

I have just finished reading the finest email I have ever gotten and still cannot believe how good this is!

My name is Dante C. Raspeller and I am a veteran of the Gulf War.  With the many horrors that my tour of duty showed me, such as people driving off of cliffs into the awaiting mouths of hungry sharks, I have been in what you might call mild-to-life threateningly severe depression.  As such, I have taken to eating and drinking almost all day long.  As you would imagine, I have gained a few pounds here and there!  My friends laugh at me now, sir!

I would love to try your free samples of this miracle weight loss program which will have me strapping and handsome again in no time!  Is this truly free?  I mean, surely there must be some sort of catch to receiving such a large amount of health inducing wonder machines!

Are there any testimonials for this product?  I searched your site but I will admit that many times while on the internet my surfing ability is not the greatest due to my occasional glaucoma.

Please let me know, I look forward to any help you are able to provide, my friends!

As you would guess, I had to send this message at least six times before anyone even bothered to reply, but at long last they did.

Hello and thank you, kind folks, for replying to my inquiry of gigantic proportions, no pun intended!

This sounds like too good a deal to possibly pass up without being in a mentally imbalanced state or possibly under the influence of foreign substances.  Both of which I can assure I am not at this particular moment, my friends!

I still wish to know if there are any testimonials which may attest to the effectiveness of this wonderful invention.  Is there such a thing?  I would appreciate this until the end of time if you could tell me, sir!

Where do the round-trip vouchers of which you speak take me?  As long as it is not the Persian Gulf, I have many memories that I do not wish to relive since I served there for many months.  A fun place like Tennessee may do wonders for the mind and spirit though!

Please let me know, I am almost ready to go ahead with my commitment to this product if I could just get a few quick answers to my most benign questions.  Thank you ma'am!

Looking forward to your reply!

I figured that since usually I only ever get one reply I'd throw in the part about being very close to buying the product in order to keep stringing them along.  It worked.

Well, it sort of worked.  Unfortunately, I'd been all over that website and couldn't find any of the information I requested.  Maybe I do have glaucoma!

Thank you Jasonh, I appreciate the reply, sir!

I have visited the website you speak of no less that 8 or maybe 6 times over the last week yet I am unable to find the answers to my questions, my friend!  This is in all likelihood due to my total incompetence as an internet surfer but may also have to due with my many medications!

In any event, please direct me to where the testimonials are.  I would love to hear the graphic exploits of other successful users of this product and see how beautiful they are now!  Also, to which destinations will these airline vouchers work?  I am a lover of travel and also staying home, so this could be fun in every aspect, yes!

Please let me know so that I might finalize my decision to purchase your product.  Thank you, ma'am!

Typically the question of product testimonials is dodged at every turn, and you'll notice had been for three consecutive emails.  But finally these guys got with the program.

I hope you read those testimonials.  If nothing else, check out the ones off to the side which include "actual" photos!  I tell you what, it's completely believable that not only did those people lose weight, but also that they are professional photographers with perfectly lit sets and cameras which can do incredible depth-of-field effects.  Either that or they're all just made up and have a few stock pictures of models slapped on them to fool idiots.  It sure seems to have worked on Dante...

Thank you VERY much, Jasonh, this has made life so much simpler!

I have gone over the testimonials page several times now.  This continues to seem too good to be true!  Many of the women in the photographs were stunning lookers, sir, if you don't mind my saying so man to man!  There should be a reunion so that lonely men like myself can meet young and virile women!  This would be exciting!  Perhaps people could use their free vouchers to get there!  I am loaded with multitudes of good ideas today, my friends!

I am also loaded with weight, which brings me back to the product in question.  One testimonial mentioned that a previous product made her jittery.  This product does not do that, does it?  I ask because I'm already quite jittery from much coffee drinking, smoking cigarettes, and occasional cocaine use.  I do not need another jitter-causer!  Then again, perhaps this one would fight the others and cause me to sit still for once in my life, sir!

The vouchers looked good.  In addition to many overseas destinations, they also offered several trips to both the United States and Florida as well!  My cousin was eaten by an alligator in Florida, so that's out, but the others look very fun indeed!  How long will this offer last?

I apologize for my many questions, but I have been swindled so many times in the past by men in black coats and large vans that I try to make sure now.  I hope you understand!  I look forward to your reply, kind gentleman!

Sincerely,
Dante C. Raspeller

Oh yeah, that's right.  The free vouchers listed their destinations, including:  Western U.S., Eastern U.S., and Florida.  Apparently when we weren't looking Florida seceded.  No loss there I guess.

The offer will be out for awhile yet, also it depends on the situation it could make you jittery if you drink just coffee and take the pills. It is recommended that you take the pills with water.

"If you drink just coffee and take the pills?"  Well what happens if I ask to drink coffee and a few other things?

To: InstaTrim Customer Service
Subject: Re: InstaTrim

Hello yet again, Jasonh, my friend of amigos!

I am glad to know the offer will be around for some time.  This cements my decision to continue deciding whether I want to choose the product or not!

This concerns me, this part about being jittery.  While I would never take the pills with coffee, as this would be an almost certain death sentence for someone in my state, I do not think I can give up coffee completely.  What if I were to drink seven cups of coffee (my usual morning routine), take the pill with a bottle of Scotch, and then have a few more cups of coffee coupled with my daily three packs of cigarettes?  Would this cause problems?  If so, I could cut down on a cigarette or two, but probably not.  I have seen horrors you would not believe and need the cigarettes, sir!  They are medicinal!

Perhaps my situation is unique.  I'm not sure, but I can definitely say that I need to lose weight fast!  I am not too pleasing too the human eye, my friends!  Even certain dogs find me disgusting, but this is not the time for that.  Please let me know if this is the right product for me.  I would be grateful for the rest of my life, ma'am!

Thank you for you reply, I look forward to your assistance.

Sincerely,
Dante C. Raspeller

Ah yes, medicinal cigarettes.  I swear, I only smoke for the health benefits of all that tar and nicotine!

We don't recommend to take the InstaTrim with alcohol, or with that much coffee, You will probably go insane. We do recommend to take it with water and lots of it so you do not get dehydrated.

Jason H.
InstaTrim Customer Service

It's not recommended, but not out of the question.  That's good, at least I can still give it a whirl.  I'm all for trying any product which promises possible insanity and/or dehydration, after all.
From: The Danimal
To: InstaTrim Customer Service
Subject: Re: InstaTrim

Oh my, Jasonh, this sounds grim indeed!

I do not wish to go insane.  This may present a problem.  There were many occasions during the Gulf War when insanity had many of my men in its grip.  They acted crazy, sir, I am not kidding!

Even though I will not drink the pills down with alcohol, there's always some in my system due to mass quantities of gin and coffee I drink on an hourly-to-non-stop basis.  I went to the hospital for therapy on my stumps where my legs used to be and they asked me my blood type.  I said "80 proof!"  This cause laughter but is no joke so cease laughing, ma'am!

Why would the product cause dehydration?  Is it made of secret materials like sawdust?  Would this make me go to the bathroom more?

Please help with my questions, I appreciate your time, my friends!

Sincerely,
Dante C. Raspeller
1st Sgt., U.S. Army

Seems like a pretty good set of questions to me.  I really did want to know why it might dehydrate a person.  The response was not what I was expecting at all (which would have been "no response"):

Well Dante I am not sure what else I can help with you but I can send you to a very good Website with all the information you need http://www.nothing-sacred.net/articles/1/166/ , I hope you have a very good day.

Jason H.
InstaTrim Customer Service

D'OH!  Dammit, this overwhelming internet celebrity stardom has foiled me again!  Or probably more accurately, the guy realized this was some sort of joke and ran a search for Dante and turned up N-S.  Hey, at least he said it's "very good."  Sarcastic or not, it's the closest thing to a compliment I'll ever see.  But so ends another adventure in the life of everyone's favorite Gulf War veteran.  It's time for me to go, I need to go have my three packs of medicinal cigarettes.
