Some early reviews of Denon’s $500 Ethernet cable

Reviews for that $500 Ethernet cable being sold by Denon are in full swing on the Amazon.com product page, located here. Here are a couple of choice tidbits…
“A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the ‘directional markings’ on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews.”
“I installed one of these cables between my gigabit ethernet switch and my Canon Pixma 6700 color printer. I know it’s not a sanctioned use, but I was looking for the ultimate in speed and color fidelity. I’m freaky that way.
The first time I downloaded a picture to the printer over this cable, the bits moved so fast the printer collapsed into a naked singularity, right there in my office.”
“Marked down 1 star because it still won’t let you do the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.”
“Like a fool, I bought these cables on a whim because of the low price. However, I got what I paid for when I installed them in my TARDIS. Before long it shorted out my chameleon circuit and Amazon refuses to pay for repairs! I guess it’ll be stuck looking like a 1963 police call box until I can somehow get enough money for a replacement.”
"I accidentally dropped one end of my Denon cable into a glass of Tuscan whole milk I was drinking. Later when I finished my milk (yeah, I still drank it; should I not have done that?), my right arm (lost in an accident in 1987) spontaneously grew back.
Is that normal?""I used 6 of them to connect up my time machine to my Starship. But now my cell phone won’t work. Must be interference from the planet being out of phase with my blue tooth headset.
On the bright side…it negated the affects of the Aurora Borealis over my house."

Am I the only one getting a little tired about hearing about these damn cables?
Yes, I know its just some cheap cable marked up to an insane price, no I would never buy them, nobody with a brain would ever buy them and everyone knows they are a scam, if I recall, they are even selling like crap.
But for crying out loud, just about every tech site has already talked about these, a week ago! Digg has had several front-page articles, Userfriendly was making comics about it ALL WEEK, enough already, its just not funny anymore, can we please stop talking about these stupid things already and move on?
At this point nothing can be said about these stupid cables that has not already been said days ago.

You know, as far as I know we broke this story and this is our only follow-up.
I did see it on digg and I was a little frustrated that they didn’t link to us, but yeah. This is how memes work unfortunately.

The new cable is a ripoff. Buy it used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000I1X6PM/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_un
