Is a thing the guy who is currently Attorney General of the United States played a role in patenting and marketing https://wapo.st/2A3xUw3
In addition to his exotic legal views and his lack of relevant experience, Matthew G. Whitaker was already known to have hawked hot-tub seats for a business that shut down this year after reaching a $26 million settlement with the Federal Trade Commission for defrauding customers. But thats just the beginning of the crackpottery.
During the current U.S. attorney generals time on the companys advisory board, from 2014 onward, World Patent Marketing:
- Claimed that DNA evidence collected in 2013 proves that Bigfoot does exist, had a website selling Bigfoot paraphernalia and planned a celebrity event called You Have Been Squatched!
- Asserted that time travel could be possible, perhaps within the next decade and tried to raise money using bitcoin for time-travel research by one of Whitakers fellow board members. The company suggested users might relive moments from your past or visit your future.
- Announced, in the same media release heralding Whitakers appointment to the board, a patent application for an extra-deep masculine toilet for the well-endowed. Specifying the size of average male genitalia, the release said this invention is designed for those of us who measure longer than that.
Some think Whitakers association with the company (he did legal work for World Patent Marketing in addition to lending his name and hawking its wares) makes him patently unfit to serve.
