Absolutely hilarious parody! Love it!

Looks like a terrific product and more thought out than several other climbing gear related kickstarters I've seen get funded recently.

So you're charging double the price of what each of these quickdraws costs at full retail value because you put a piece of tape with a word on it  on the Dogbone?  I really hope this is an elaborate troll.

Can’t tell if real or fake....  

I've seen some quick-draws at REI that establish a telepathic link between your mind and a mood-controlling exhibitor, anger-management inhibitor.  And they work on just 1 AAA batter per draw!

Side effects may include seizures, nose bleeds, vomiting and nausea.

What I'm really looking forward to are the quick-draws that stop climbers from being arrogant jerks, but that technology probably won't appear in my lifetime.

i think real....here is why....i saw a photo in alpinist mag where someone had written (on there shoe, above the toes) try hard.... i dont always try hard and so i did the same...

the thing is without looking in the gear bag i'm not sure exactly what i wrote....point being i rarely read the message...as i'm always looking at the rock for foot position not the shoe..

here's the catch , i do try harder...i think the act of writing it down some how  helped....and i do notice the message i wrote at other times...now i will think about this even more !

leave the label blank and write your own message in sharpie...just a thought...peace

Consider the similarity of a quick draw to....

[apparently MP strips out the time index start point, so fast forward to the 1:55 mark 'cause the first bit is really boring]

I just write live for beer on everything. That's my motivator. 

Maybe print tape with motivational words like this:

Of course, she’s consciously projecting her shitty product 

Alright, this confuses me. After watching the video I thought for sure that it was just a parody or satire. But paying for a website seems a bit far to take a joke. I mean, I'm sure there are suckers out there who might buy one, but I doubt that would bring in enough revenue to pay for hosting a site.

$2.95 / month gets you free Wordpress, site builder, and Cloudflare, unlimited sub domains and email addresses, and unlimited disk space and bandwidth and backups. In short, it's no where near as expensive as it once was.

damn, that's crazy. I remember it being about 20 bucks a month to just get a domain, without any nice site builders or anything like that. You paid $20/month to put cut and paste HTML into a textbooks, no pre-built GUI, no storage space, and a limit to how many different webpages you could have on your site
