Dale - Kitts OK..he's never made a claim that SPNG is anything but a dream. He personally never saw the item, which is not all that hard to believe as there simply wasn't all that much of it.
Pretty much like your picture was just to show the elusive products did/do exist...even if the investment doesn't.
Part of the ploy...the advancement in this promotion was that they made a somewhat visible product...and in fact had a too successful ad campaign. They were in some regards, victims of their own success. I don't think they ever thought the whole ting would become as big as it did, basically out of control. Smaller and they could have graciously walked away with the $$ and vanished to do another.
Like the product, now the case and desire for vengance still hang around.
