My friends and I were having a Pong tournament the other day when thr RF adapter took a turn fot he worst. In a panic we called all over town looking for a solution. Radio Shack had an RF adapter for $9.99 but this was an important tournament for us so we all chipped in and bought this bad baby. Immediately we all had the feeling like we were watching McEnroe Vs Connors at Wimbledon. We were actually able to record our tournament and sell the copies of it as Professional Tennis Training Videos. This cable really did change our lives.

My neighbour recently showed me his new HDTV, and I was incredibly impressed. I asked the secret to the crisp quality of the picture and audio. He told me it was HDMI, and the cable cost him $140.
Naturally, I was jealous. I traveled to Best Buy a few days ago. When I arrived and asked for the most expensive HDMI cable available, the clerk laughed, and then guided me to this product. Presumably, he was overcome with joy.
When I got home, I went straight to my neighbour's house to show him my new expensive cable. He laughed with joy as well.
As we gathered to eat our Sunday dinner, me and my family were stunned by the picture quality. Truly, this cable was amazingly better for both video and film and television purposes.
What's great about it: Felt important buying a $1000 piece of wire
What's not so great: No improvement whatsoever from $140 HDMI cable

seriously, I wonder if they have even sold one of these bad boys

Funny stuff.  Last year I needed an extra HDMI cable and didn't want to wait a couple days for online shipping so I drove down to Best Buy.  Their cheapest cable was over $30.  I asked the sales rep why they were so expensive and he gave me the company line about better quality from more expensive cables.  When I called bullcrap on him, he got annoyed and basically admitted as much but stated that I $30 was the best they could do.  Paying more than a couple bucks per HDMI cable is the biggest rip off those stores have going.  I bought a half dozen so that I always have an extra on hand as I add equipment.
