Reminds me of Seinfeld and his style of humour.

I wouldn't worry about those.. There is a niche in the web to make money with things like this and since today we live in market economy, it shouldn't be a surprise some people are trying this kind of things.

If it is moral to sell various useless vitamin supplements and even advertise them on TV every 5 minutes, why we are surprised with this?
The guy is just trying to make a quick buck, and he is using perfectly legal ways to do it. It is the "values" of the society around us that are to blame.. people like this one are only the product of the trend.
Just remember Richard Hoagland and his "Mars face".. and "new physics".. I had endless discussions with my then boss in NEC, just prior the proper photographs of the region that debunked the whole thing.. and he had to admit the defeat (but not lightly... poor guy.. but also not quite, because those who are saying today the Mars landing is fake, probably said then that NASA destroyed the Mars Face, not to loose the face).

There is market for literary anything today.
