Clones 'R Us

The website http://www.d-b.net/dti/ , even on a first look, does not seem very credible. First, the name of the company, “Clones ‘R Us”, strangely sound like the well known toy store “Toys ‘R Us”. Also, when you take a look at their “About Us” section, you can see all the ridiculous awards they won such as: “Cool Bananas Award” and the “Too Cool Award” which also adds to the incredibility of the website. In the same section of the site, you can also see a “nurse” doing chicken eggs transplantation: not very serious when you know that cloning is a very complicated process! These are only a few of all the incredible elements of the site. However, for someone who does not know anything about cloning and who does not double check the information of the website, there are a few elements that can seem credible, like the statistics on the side of the site, the logo of the company and the section “Testimonials”.
