DailySteals.com is a website that offers a small number of “daily deals” for a pretty decent discount.

Today while perusing the site, I couldn’t help but notice they were selling a 2-Pack of SanDisk Cruzer 4GB Flash Drives for $6.99. My immediate thought was “who the hell still uses a 4GB flash drive??” Then I saw the price…

DailySteals was claiming that a 2-Pack of SanDisk Cruzer 4GB Flash Drives normally sells for $79.99 when in actuality, the same flash drive individually sells for between $5 and $9, which would make a 2-pack betwen $10 and $18*.

However, DailySteals.com has made it a common practice for some time now to “pad” the claimed list price in order to make it appear as though they’re offering a much larger discount. Lots of sites tack on maybe 10% to the “original price”. This is pretty common, and most of us just accept this for what it’s worth. But this… instead of adding 10%, they went and upped the claimed price to nearly 10 TIMES* the original price!

Why am I making such a big deal about this? What if some poor sap who knows nothing about this kind of technology wanders in thinking he’s getting a great deal, while he’s actually being ripped off! That is why everyone who reads this, needs to SHARE THIS INFO AND PICTURE! This type of business practice is both SHAMEFUL and IMMORAL!!! Here’s a screenshot to prove I’m not crazy:

*EDIT DailySteals recently wrote me back after I informed them of my intentions to share this information. Their email to me was a follows:

Thank you for contacting us! This price is the MSRP price. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Thank You,

After reading this, I immediately check SanDisk’s official website to check. While SanDisk IS indeed selling them for QUITE a bit more than the $5-$10 you can get them anywhere else ($19.99 each), they’re still nowhere NEAR the $79.99 mark, as you can clearly see for yourself here.

Your move, DailySteals.

So I’m guessing this was supposed to be a staged thing or whatever. I don’t really know, but what I do know are two things. This dude has the word ‘penis’ in his name, and it’s hilarious.

I think this guy’s impression of Gandalf is actually the best part of this 12 second clip. Pretty funny though, still.

And here in Northern Norway, we get a glimpse into the life of the world’s luckiest Tow Truck driver, although I’d have to say… if he were really lucky, he wouldn’t live in cold-as-a-motherfucker Norway. Also, apparently the semi-truck driver wasn’t as quick to bail, but the tow truck guys insane luck must have rubbed off on him, since reports say he’s gonna be fine.

Ever see an animal do something that is cartoonishly adorable? Watch this cat’s reaction to the vacuum cleaner. It’s so goddamn cute you wanna puke.

This sailor is coming home for the first time in something like 8 months and sneaks into a picture while his grandmother isn’t looking. Very cute.

When I first saw this, I figured it was just some retarded video Google threw out there to pat themselves in their back as they tend to do, but then I found out, you can actually go to Google Maps and use it in 8-Bit NES style, which is both awesome and hilarious.

This guy follows people around Target while talking on his cell phone and describing what the person is doing. Sometimes the best pranks are the ones that take massive balls to pull off, are on totally unsuspecting strangers and require you to engage the person while keeping a steady face. All things I am incapable of.

One of my new favorite special effects jobs ever!
