The $49 plastic Fresnel lens reminds me of a similar scam that was popular in
the 1950s; for a reasonable price, they would sell you a filter that would
convert any Tv from black and white to colour. Of course, it was just a piece
of coloured plastic, but it did what it promised! I have heard that some of
these were divided into three stripes- the top was blue, for sky, the middle
was sort of flesh tone, and the bottom was green, for grass. If you were
watching the right show, it was perfect.
