This is real, apparently. It's not a spoof, and they really have managed to secure something like $30 million of investment.

If it is just accessories then I guess its mainly marketing and distribution anyway.

Quite remarkable; according to our survey, the technology is flavoured with bookends, pumice stone, and West Germany ...
