FREE Mr Clean Magic Erasers


Greetings Joey and welcome to SFN! Looking forward to your input..

I think I'll pass on the Magic Erasers. I like my magic to be clear and bold, and unmistakable -- it certainly doesn't need erasing.

Well, Joey, welcome to SFN.

Me, I like my magic evidenced. The use of the face of a respected "authority" figure such as Mr. Clean implies that he either endorses the claim of magic, or has performed it himself. But "appeal to authority" is a classic form of false argument.

After all, do we even know that Mr. Clean's visage was used in this instance with his knowledge that it would be used to support a supernatural claim? Even if so, is Mr. Clean a scientist, capable of skeptically investigating paranormal claims? What are Mister Clean's academic credentials? Where is his peer-reviewed paper, in which he cites the results of a double-blind study?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. But all you've given us is Mr. Clean's bald pate and suspiciously smiling face.

Are you just another drive-by poster, dropping an extraordinary, unsubstantiated claim upon us, then skipping away? Or are you trying to establish the divinity or sainthood of Mr. Clean by claiming his performance of miracles?

Mr. Clean or not, Magic Erasers are probably better fare for woo-woo sites than our skeptical forums.

Isn't that the age-old question that humanity has been trying to answer forever? I have no idea, personally. If you come up with an answer, I hope you'll post it here.

We do how we can.

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.
