I'm writing a report on how information on the internet can be misleading or innaccurate. One of the supporting paragraphs goes over using misleading information to sell a product. "Wallhangers" was one of the first things that came to mind, seeing as they appeal to people who have interests, but no real knowledge with swords. Problem with these sites is they're like little kids.
They pop up whenever you don't want them to, and generally make a nuisince of themselves. But when you acutally need them for something and you sit down to look for them, you can never find them . Anyone know of any such sites? Ones that throw words around like "Battle ready" or "Just like it X movie" would be great....but not nessacary.

Don't go with the wallhangers example. It's kind of weak. Aren't wallhangers just decorations? Maybe display katanas would be more along the direction you want to take.

Or maybe something more mainstream like the Thigh-master which is a piece of exercise equipment crap or nutritional/diet supplements. Also, look up the products on www.asseenontv.com, plenty of crap there.
