Cheap At-Home Apple IPhone 4 Antenna Fix

We at Knee Jerk Marketing recently received a an email from one of our most tech savvy listeners about how to solve the Apple IPhone 4 antenna reception issues with a cheap at-home fix.

Mr. Mike Saylor has created a clever accessory that gains much needed signal strength with minimal negative aesthetic problems.

He has already received thousands of requests on his website www.IPhoneEars.com.

According to Mr. Saylor, "If this sort of success continues, I might be able to quit my day job. I just can't find enough workers with small hands to quickly make the ears."

Mr. Saylor cautions users to avoid microwaves and areas with severe weather activity. In addition, he recommends during mobile use in their vehicles to open sunroofs for maximum performance.

See below for a step by step video tutorial on how to make your own version, or you can purchase from Mr. Saylor's website for $9.99 plus shipping and handling.

Mr. Klean and the "Klean Kanteen"

We at Knee Jerk Marketing are always looking for those who lead in a cutting edge fashion.

A tip lead us to Mr. Gregory Wohman. An engineer by day, but a global environmental freedom fighter at night. Recently, Mr. Wohman was caught in his "Clark Kent" day job outfit for a rare photograph.

Look closely though....

This mild manner "Mr. Klean" is sporting none other than the belt clip version of the Klean Kanteen. This invention of true engineering mastery allows Mr. Wohman to fight the effects of thirst, while reducing his carbon footprint. You'll never find this "Green General" using those environment killing plastic water bottles!

Kudos to you Mr. Wohman....or should we say "Mr. Klean"!

Trailer Park Boys!

One of the best videos I've ever seen.  Enjoy!

TOP SECRET - Environmentally-friendly warfare. Save the planet, blast a terrorist!

We received a news flash from one of our readers Mr. Barry Nevans that car manufacturer Toyota has just released it's new line of hybrid cars, particularly the "military spec" Prius. He is an art director for ZooCore Design and was out in Iraq on a recent photo shoot assignment. While presenting his brochure concept for the new product launch, he snapped this shot of the prototype Toyota poised for action. Note the old and trashed Hummer H1 in the background, a true relic with many features migrating into Toyota's new flagship. The 2008 Prius, with its clever moniker of "priUSAttack" has been retrofitted with all the latest technologies and gadgets necessary to continue this war for oil on a budget. And with the price of gas going through the roof, this will be a welcome artillery piece for our young combat troops, saving our country thousand of gallons of fuel each week.

The obsolete, gas-guzzling engine of the decommissioned Hummer will finally be silenced by an array of 12 volt motors and acid bathed batteries. The only sound you'll here over the "humming" of the electric engines on this ride is the blasting of the Browning .50 CAL. machine gun attached to the roof. Well equipped to "cap" any insurgent who's dumb enough to get within range of this savage new vehicle. Mr. Nevans was unable to learn if Toyota was going to roll out a civilian version of this beast, but did hear they were looking into it. Barry said it would be perfect for traveling down the HOV lanes back at home, adding that whenever some idiot is just hanging out on his cell phone driving 40, you could load up a clip, pull the trigger and clear out the lane.

Some of the vehicle features Barry was able to grab from the his presentation of the top secret Hexagon documents are as follows:

• Complete, welded steel roll cage to protect your passenger (AKA the gunner)
• Fully integrated "rapid-fire" machine gun turret (50 CAL.) mounted to roof
• Dual fire control switching, either at gun breach or as a steering wheel mount
• All windows are bullet-proof with interior factory defrosters still operable
• Bullet proof Lexan headlight covers allow for full-beam penetration (each lamp measured at 500,000 candle power)
• Expanded trunk for carrying over 10,000 .50 CAL rounds and 2 dozen rockets
• Run-flat tires at all corners with no need for a spare (no room in the trunk anyhow due to magazine and RPG storage)
• De-latched and seamless doors for extra security* (must enter vehicle through rear hatch) *This feature may not be available on the civilian model
• Kevlar side skirt inserts in each door panel for added protection
• Clearly branded with the priUSAttack graphics (also developed by Barry @ ZooCore Design)
• Full under body armor plates for thwarting IED or roadside bomb attacks
• 120mm rocket launcher mounted under front grill (disguised as running lights)
• No color options available, delivered in olive drab only (consumer models will have more paint selections)
• Interior is clad in heavy-duty vinyl for easy clean up of most blood splatters(consumer models will have a leather option).

Stay tuned and watch for this new Knee Jerk machine heading stateside soon!

Skip to the Lu

We received a note from one of our favorite readers, Mr. Mike Saylor. Mr. Saylor alerted us to quite the Knee Jerk moment while on vaction in Maui. As he was riding the waves in lovely Maui, he was forced to bail from his sufboard. Mr. Saylor paddled in and quickly ran to find his wife.

"Honey, you have to take a picture of me on my next wave run. Grab your camera, I'll explain later!" Saylor paddled back out and dissapeared over the rolling waves.

Minutes rolled by while his wife stood impatiently at the waterfront. She was just getting ready to walk away frustrated when she heard...."Honey, here I come. Get ready to shoot!"

All of a sudden Saylor came barreling through the rip curl.....following Skippy, the world's #1 surfing dog. Mr. Saylor's wife was able to snap this exclusive shot as she stood in amazement.

Skippy completed his run and ran up to the beach, leaving while stealing a sandwich from the Saylor's picnic basket, and lifting his leg and peeing on Mrs. Saylor's purse. He then ran off down the beach, likely searching for his next wave to conquest! Way to go Skippy! The Knee Jerk Moment of the day.

I'm All Out!

Knee Jerk Marketing was invited to a recent "Texas Hold 'Em" political fundraiser for Riverfront County Councilman Jeff Rock.  We must say that this was one of the more creative ways to extract money from hapless donors.  

Overheard was donor Mr. Mike Saylor, who could be seen pushing his bundle of chips to the middle of the table while exclaiming, "I'M ALL OUT!"  Clearly Mr. Saylor needs to brush up on his ESPN coverage of the World Series of Poker.  Mr. Saylor, "I'M ALL IN" is intimidating to opponents.  "I'M ALL OUT" is just a confession of how bad your hand is.  

Mr. Saylor, you are the KNEE JERK MARKETING item of the day!

Taxicab Compressions

Consistent with our mission to educate our readers, we received a report today of a scam being perpetrated on unknowing members of the public. Knee Jerk Marketing spoke with Gregory Wohman, a troubled soul who had recently had a run in with a taxi cab driver.

Mr. Wohman went on to explain, "I left my bag on top of my car last night right before I headed off to the grocery store. Next thing I know my bag with my computer is gone!" He described a phone call from a friendly taxi cab driver explaining to him in broken English that he saw his bag with computer fly into the street and summarily roll into traffic and get run over.

After asking Mr. Wohman to meet him to pick up his computer, he described that he would have to purchase 10 Slurpees and have his frequent buyer card stamped at his cousin's store nearby before he could redeem the computer. Knee Jerk Marketing checked with the store named "Slurpees & Hard Drives" to see if they had any further information on this and they reportedly have "No Comment."

Looks like this problem is likely to give Mr. Wohman quite a "brain freeze."

Marketing Weed

It might sound somewhat shady, but this idea is not "Half Baked". It is the newest pile of fertilizer spread by our KNEE JERK MARKETING group of the week.

According to Jefe Sit, Marketing Director of Louis Communities the weeds in front of the Candletree models provide an ambiance of nature. "We believe that buyers leaving the concrete jungle of Los Angeles are looking for a reconnection with nature. These weeds give them that sense of connection they've been waiting for!"

Alright Jefe, roll that idea up and smoke it!

Bowling Alley Homes

So our latest crack team of Knee Jerk Marketers has developed what they dub as the "Bowling Alley Home".

"Not only is your home your castle," said Mike Saylor from Party Homes, "but your home can now be a place of sheer entertainment." Saylor also shared with Knee Jerk Marketing that as an option, buyers can purchase a disco ball light package which increases the entertainment experience. "We haven't sold any of these homes yet this year, but we know it's just a matter of time before we'll roll a perfect 300 with this idea."

The KNEE JERK MARKETING idea of the day!!

Coca-Cola

I was wondering if I put info on Coca-Cola I would get ads for Coca-Cola. I love Coca-Cola more than Pepsi. It has a cool and refreshing taste. You should try Coca-Cola too.

FORECLOSURES AND SHORT SALES

FORECLOSURE IS EASY. FORECLOSURE IS FUN. BUY A FORECLOSURE. REAL ESTATE AND SHORT SALES REALLY WORK.

BUY A HOME AND GET AN EXTRA LOT!

Buy a home and get an extra lot! This is the idea from Mike Saylor, VP of Community Development for Party Homes. This hair brained scheme sounds like a great idea for rich fat cats like Mr. Saylor, who have gobs of money coming out of their pockets. But for you and I who are struggling to afford $4 gas, it's ludicrous.

Mr. Saylor, the KNEE JERK MARKETING idea of the day!
