Scope and Contents

An obese man eats as he watches the news. During a commercial break, the man hears an ad for "Blubber Be Gone" and orders it over the phone. The next morning when his package arrives, the man tries it but rather than loosing weight, he gains. Angered by the result, he goes to the manufacturer to lodge a complaint only to be shown the "Take at your own risk" disclaimer.
