You must have missed the point. Other than for people with one arm, the product is LAME!!! That's what we do...we bash LAME products!!!! It is our nature.

We aren't trying to offend anyone, just telling the truth, which is that The Umpire Hook is a ridiculous product as marketed. If it were marketed towards one-armed umpires, then we certainly would NEVER make fun of it. But the marketers are promoting it as a great invention for the everyday Joe umpire, which it clearly is not. Not any more than the Ump-Glove, for example; what a horrible money-making scam that thing is. This is right along those lines.

Hey, if it can help one-armed umps, then I'm all for it, but market it just for them, and not to the masses.
