So I hear. I'm watching a syndicated rerun of Monk right now. One of the guest stars today is a goldfish.

That's amber/indigo vs red/cyan. And the reason they switched was so that it won't be eye-bendingly horrible to watch _without_ the glasses, since they can't guarantee that every viewer will be aware of this, or that they'll be able to get their hands on the glasses in time to watch it, or that they have two working eyes such that they're even capable of viewing it in 3D. And all of those people would have a serious case of Bent-Eye Syndrome if they sat through an entire hour-long anaglyphic 3D TV episode on Monday. Oh, yeah, and a lesser case of it if they bother to watch whatever that thing is that's on tonight.

It also requires a much more expensive setup than what they are doing with regular broadcast TV. But yes, it does work better. Fortunately, when they release 3D movies on DVD, they usually offer a 2D viewing option. Or at least the two 3D-DVDs that I own do. Or, I should say that two of the three I own do, since Hitchhiker's Guide does not offer a 2D viewing option for the holographic head and surface-to-space missiles. But they also don't tell you that if you wear red/cyan glasses while watching it, the projection will appear in 3D.

Wait...if I get someone to diagnose me with ADHD, I can get all the free sugar I want? Score!

So while not -technically- incorrect, paying $40 for something you can locate and press on yourself definitely isn't worth it.

Technically, all acupuncture does is pierce major nerve clusters, which causes the nervous system to freak out and flood your body with endorphines, which in turn make you feel all happy. It doesn't actually _fix_ anything that a quick hit of opium wouldn't take care of for you, provided you had been properly indoctrinated to believe that a toke of opium had all the same beneficial effects that you apparently believe acupuncture provides.
But I do agree with you that this is a waste of $40.
