Since the inception of this homepage back in January of 1997, we have stated unequivocally that "the factual information on our homepage has been researched and found to be authentic.... it speaks volumes!" Simply put, we have never knowingly concocted any untruths/falsehoods about Shimadzu, their deceptive business practices or their inferior product offerings! Then in September 1998, a group of independent medical reviewers representing a prestigious online search engine concluded that the factual information on our "professionally oriented website is 100% accurate." Hence, the Shimadzu Consumer Alerts homepage at http://www.bigfoot.com/~shimadzu-sux now sports a "4 star rating" award.

In spite of these declaration(s) and award(s), there are a few belly-aching malcontents (ie. Joel Polowin, David Bostwick for starters) who are still non-believers. (We can't make you see the light if you're unwilling and/or narrow-minded.) And let's not forget the brainwashed misfits who labor at Shimadzu on a daily basis. (Hell, we might be singing Shimadzu's tune too if we were on the corporate payroll, but then maybe not.... we have scruples!) In an effort to quell these malcontents, dispel those misfits and open the eyes of the non-believers, we will put our money where our mouth is!

If anyone supplies/forwards us any indisputable/incontrovertible evidence by email which contradicts any of the factual information on our website (opinions exempted), then we will pay the first contributor reporting any such untruth/falsehood the equivalent of 10,000 Japanese yen in the form of a money order forwarded by snail mail to your attention. (Hell, Reader's Digest only pays $35 to the first contributor of solicited stories.) This good-will offer is open to all Shimadzu employees worldwide and all other sane inhabitants on this planet. Please note that we will have final say whether any presented evidence is indeed indisputable/incontrovertible.

n.b. If we have stated any untruths/falsehoods whatsoever at any time about Shimadzu, then we will (without hesitation) fork over the indicated money amount and issue a formal public apology to yours truly on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, DC. How could we be more fair? BTW: Will Shimadzu ante up???

n.b. We have absolutely nothing to gain by fabricating or publishing untruths/falsehoods. Shimadzu, on the other hand, has everything (starting with your money) to gain by resorting to the flagrant, deliberate and intentional use of lies and denials!

n.b. Let it be known that no Shimadzu official, figurehead or troll has ever questioned and successfully challenged the veracity of the information on this website at any time. The truth hurts.... just ask the habitual prevaricators at Shimadzu!


Question: Will Shimadzu admit to the facts found on this homepage and come clean or will they simply persist with their propaganda depicting full-blown lies and denials?
