The Credibility of Melissa Rogers and Shoo!TAG™ (Click to Play Video)
Although… judging by the photo it does something…
WOW! If only they made and iPhone app for this.
Looks more like ShitHAG.
anaglyph: That is an unaltered photo, sir.
BNitP: I think a light just went on in your head.
Joey: HAHAHAHA! You mean you’d shoo her away, just like that?
I’ve got an idea for keeping athlete’s foot at bay using magnets. I call it ‘ShoeTag™’
whoops… I think her lipstick just got smeared…..
anaglyph: I’ve got one to keep bitchy wives at bay. I call it YouNAG™.
nursemyra: Really? I hadn’t noticed she was even wearing lipstick.
My question is: Does Aspray work?
Only a face like THAT coud convince me that E = M3/4!
I don’t think this is funny. Not even a little bit. It’s not only immature but it’s an extremely pathetic attempt to belittle a woman who has obviously gone after something and gotten it. Shame on you.
Well … looks like she got YOUR money, anyway.
Inquiring Mind: Not against fleas, no. Or against the makers of ShooTag.
Joey: That’s what happens when you get the formula wrong when making homemade cosmetics.
Accomplished: Hey, don’t get your panties in a wad. Maybe we can talk this out over pizza?
Joey: Yea, a regular FoolSNAG™.
Pompous dingbatski!
a woman who has obviously gone after something and gotten it.
Yeah – gone after exploiting gullible schmucks and succeeded. BIG accomplishment.
Well she got enough to buy too much lipstick anyway……
Joey: Go play in some friggin dirty, why don’t ya?
anaglyph: You act as though you don’t believe that Shoo!TAG™ really works.
nursemyra: Seriously, what lipstick? I just don’t see it.
This fuckin thing werks, goshpdangit!
Trus me on thatski!
F. Flea: If the tag don’t fit, you must acquit!
Lets not ferget, fokes, that Justice is BLIND.
So from now on, lets be FAIR: When you evaluate this ShooTAG thing, try not havin yer eyes so dangd OPEN!
O.J. Groupies: Why don’t all of you go swim in a pool? Get laid? Get drunk? Or bofe. Or ALL.
What? Aint you got no dirt fer us t play in?
O.J. Groupies: You think you’re all SMART GUYS, don’t you?
We wanna play in th dirt wif U.
Hey, assholes! Yea, Atlas and Joey! You fuckers beter leave my pizza outta this. I don’t want nothin to do with that crazy bitch.
Tell it, brothr!
why are you so jealous? what have you done for this world lately?
Speak the Truth (As If): I can sleep at night knowing that I haven’t scammed people by lying to them about a bullshit product.
I don’t know if you’re Melissa Rogers, her sister (and partner in her scam operation), or some other ignorant co-worker and/or relative. If your product worked, you would:
1.) Post scientific evidence supporting your hokum claims.
2.) Actually post under your real name or link to your site with said evidence.
If you can back up your claims with real, genuine scientific evidence, then post it here and I’ll apologize publicly. You already claim the improbable, so why not share some science? (a feat that is just as improbable for you, I bet). Put up or shut up.
In the event that someone out there is considering purchasing ShooTAG and stumbles across this comment and post, know that this is how these people operate. They chastise and belittle any who oppose their narrow-minded, windbag claims because they’re afraid if the truth gets out, the jig is up. And then they’d have to get real jobs.
And in case anyone was wondering, here is the real science behind ShooTAG.
Awright, Smawrt Guy …
So whats th sience bhind Jerichos Pizza?
Oliver Stoneski: Jericho’s Pizza uses the same pseudoscience as Shoo!TAG™. Put some shit together, lay it on real thick, then sell it to unsuspecting folks.
Th shit is bettr when you bake it yer own dangd self.
Papa Murfski: It’s still shit.
@speak the truth:
So let me get this right – you think ShooTag is ‘doing something for the world’? And what, exactly, would that be?
Yeah, but its haff-bakd shit.
Oh, WAIT …
So is Shoo!TAG™!
i am not related in any way to shoo tag. i stumbled upon your site while researching alternative and natural flea treatments. you have every right to question any product. i just wonder why you spend so much of your time de-facing pictures, making silly videos, and speaking in adolescent sentences. typically, people who constantly put down others have a very low self-esteem. i wonder why you take this so personally and wonder if there is anything positive you do in this world.
An alternate point of view might be that people who expose deluded swindlers, who are doing nothing more than peddling simpleminded pseudoscience, are doing the world a favour. That sounds pretty positive to me.
Even adolescents can capitalize the first word in their sentences.
Every year I write poems for disabled and handicapped Russians who’ve lost a limb. I feel pretty positive about that.
NO friggin WAYski!
Somone in NO WAY rlated to Shoo!TAG™ is gonna make a point o postin a “Shame, shame!” coment on a blogpost critickle o Shoo!TAG™ — cmplete wif disparaging psyckologickle “analysis,” AND undr th monickr “Speak the Truth”?
Souns t me like somone OVIOUSLY rlated — eithr as one o th perps or as one o th awready fleecd.
Th sience, so brillyant & bold,
And, wif patent pending, untold,
Has this result net:
Fleas STILL bite yer pet,
While con-artists chew yer billfold.
Th magnetick-strip showdown was,
Unfortunate simply because,
It made me th jerk:
Shoo!TAG™ doesnt work,
But, sadly, my credit card DOES.
why o why did it take the second page of google to find sanity?
anyone with any sense would know that this is a sham-scam.
unfortunately there are lots of people with $30 but no sense
love the comments (and art work)
donethat: Thank you! Don’t forget to check out the video on how Shoo!TAG™ really works!
Damn that it’s on the second page. We’re not working hard enough!
Rev: We’re on the first page if you Search™ “Does Shootag work?”
I guess you think pouring poison on the neck of your pet is the better alternative. Wow that’s amazing! I have tried the Shoo tag and for my dog, it works. What tougher place to test it out than Texas, fleas the size of V.W.’s
So find something better to put down..the war…poverty…killing. Get a life
humanemom: Wow, another testimonial from someone in Texas! And not only that, you’re about a half hour away from the Shoo!TAG™ headquarters! Lucky you, you must save a lot of gas on your way to work there. It’s too bad I ate my cat before I could try the product out for myself.
Notice how ‘humanemom’ uses several argument techniques beloved of irrational people: she asks an irrelevant question full of highly coloured accusation, and then answers it negatively for you by implication. She also simplifies the issue into one of stark contrasts: you either ‘pour poison’ on your pet, or you use WooTAG. There are no other options. This kind of language is common to people who fall for pseudoscience. They have no rational thinking skills – they are completely unable to bring any kind of commonsense to bear.
Next, she uses observationally worthless claims to substantiate her view (‘it works on my dog’ – OK, where’s the corroborated evidence) and then exaggeration and further implication to sell the product (if it can beat the VW-sized fleas in Texas, then it would work any-damn-where!).
I put to you one simple question, ‘humanemom’: If this thing does all that its manufacturers claim, why isn’t it being shipped in container-loads to the mosquito-ridden equatorial regions across the globe in an effort to wipe out malaria?
Think about it – who is likely to be the most gullible: pet owners who are poor observers and badly trained in critical thinking (as you have just demonstrated of yourself), or scientifically trained doctors who want nothing more than to stamp out the scourge of a disease that kills hundreds of thousands of people every year.
Don’t talk to me about war and poverty you hypocrite.
I tryd to put one o them things on my dog.
That was th firs time I evr heard a dog say “Fuck you.”
And I sppose if I tryd to put one on a mule, th mule woud jus … yknow … LAFF at me.
If I had a mule, I’d name it Kathy. And then stick the tag on its heiney.
Question: Can you prove it doesn’t work?
I could post a link to their review page of about 30 people saying it does work, but I don’t really believe things like that because who is to say it isn’t just them making stories up. I, like others, tend to rely on the experience of others before I will go and buy something, but you saying “No, it doesn’t work”, is like them saying “Yes, it does work”.
kas: It clearly worked on you. They shooed your cash outta your pocket, didn’t they?
You want a all-natural way o keepin fleas off yer pets?
Smear a little Take ‘N’ Bake on em. No livin thing will go near em.
@kasumirieko: The obligation is not on any of us to prove it doesn’t work. The workings of Shoo!TAG defy all the known precepts of rational science so in such a case the liability of proof rests with the those who claim it works. As the inimitable Carl Sagan famously said: “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. So far, not only have the makers of ShooTAG failed to provide extraordinary evidence for their outrageous claims, they’ve failed to provide any evidence at all.
As for your tendency ‘to rely on the experience of others’, well, it might be a reasonable general rule of thumb, but for highly subjective claims where the result is not at all clear (as in how many fleas are on your dog) it is mostly a bad idea. People are easily fooled by snake-oil salesmen, as history demonstrates very clearly.
Once again I make a simple observation: the ShooTAG people claim it can effectively repel mosquitos. If that is so, why aren’t they selling billions of the things to health workers across the malaria-ridden areas of the world? Not only would they be making a fortune, but they’d be saving millions of lives and much suffering. Do you know why? BECAUSE SHOOTAG DOES NOT WORK.
I actually have some samples of these things. I dont know if they work at repelling flees but I swiped the card at Costcos the other day and I was able to charge $500 worth of toilet paper, socks and beer to Ms. Melissa Roger’s account! So, in my eyes ShooTAG DOES WORK!!!!
What the?: HAHAHAHA!
Okay, so Shoo!TAG™ does work. Just not as advertised.
You guys are ruthless…in a very funny way!
Recently, the ShooTag people gave out shoo tags to everyone on a southwest airline flight going from Austin to Phoenix (flt 2893 on sunday March 28, 2010 departed at 1PM, but was 10 minutes delayed). SWA actually let them do a little commercial over the intercom of the sold-out flight. I was actually on my way home from Orlando where I attended the Global Pet Expo…I’m quite familiar with a huge array of natural flea/tick repellants…some work decent and some a just plain shiat.
they explained how this “shoo tag” worked and I thought “I ain’t buying it even if I do love SWA”. But, they gave them out to everyone to try for free. I about spit out my 1.5 oz of diet coke I was drinking when they said the tag sold for $24.95. LOL!!!
I got home and went out to do some weeding. I was getting attacked by bugs pretty good…and thought…hey, I got that shoo-tag gizmo…I’ll give it a try. Bottom line, it didn’t do squat! I wore it for 3 hours and there was no difference in the bug activity around me and on me. Now…my story is only antedotal, not evidence that it doesn’t work. It only means it didn’t work for me. Perhaps I have a magnetic field in-balance within my body and I actually screwed up the product? NOT.
I’m glad I didn’t pay $24.95 plus shipping for that thing!
As we like to say at my company…In God we trust, everyone else needs data! The shoo tag web site is severely lacking in any data…and they have a page that is titled “science” yet there is NO science on the page!!!!
FYI – there are a few (scam) companies out there marketing the benefits of three dimensional electromagnetic fields. One that comes to mind is http://www.efxusa.com. You guys will get a good laugh at them too.
ItriedShooTag: Thanks for stopping by and confirming our
factssuspicions. And thank you for that excellent link to EFX. What a load of shit that is.Wow. How come I’m never on a flight like that? I wonder if the cabin crew would’ve let me do a commercial…
Shoo!TAG™ would never let you do a commercial. They don’t like the way you sound.
I could do some great bioenergetic fields sounds….
Bzzzzzoinnngggggzzzzzzzzz. Pffffpppttt…
