Hmm. Kind of like when your tiger-repelling rock doesn’t repel tigers anymore.

When it comes to sharks, this Dutch yellow pages commercial is hard to beat:
The guy on the cart asks whether they have a piece of some 5 by 10 yards. Reply: only frosted glass. The guy holding the glass frantically nods Yes!. The guy keeps looking further in the yellow pages and asks at the next one whether the price includes putty.

One that is payable to your heirs and not voided by the death of the owner…otherwise there’s a perverse incentive.

Woah, mine still work perfectly. Even went to the zoo and I was completely tiger attack-free. Worth every penny that I’m paying on monthly installment plans. I’m also looking forward to my tithe getting me into heaven - it’s guaranteed. (Still not sure on how to collect on that guarantee, though…)

Mythbusters tested this a while back during shark week. Yes, sharks seem to be irritated, but the consequences of that irritation were equivocal. Some (generally the ones that wouldn’t bother you anyway) ran away while others apparently said “fuck this” and tried to destroy the irritant.
If anyone is trying to turn a buck off this they should be sued into oblivion.

Even if it were effective, they specify the range of the device as 1 meter. Unless you are standing on land with your arms at your sides, chances are there are important parts of your limbs/body which are 1 meter away from the device at any given time. In the two worst-case scenarios I can imagine, you would either have the band on your ankle leaving your head out of range or you would have it on your wrist leaving your lower half exposed as you try to swim away.

The orcas are just as bad. “As God is my witness, I genuinely mistook that swimming nun for a penguin.”

This is why I always carry a Chicken-Scaring Torpedo.
I guess the shark’s polarity was opposite the magnet.

Their adverts say that it weighs 3 oz, has no batteries.
The bad taste of woo repels sharks.
