Uh, ya, right, but magnetic bracelets and blinking fishing lures don't cause you to go careening out of control to your death like brake failure does, I think the consequences are a little higher for a brake rotor manufacturer than your late night "shit marketer".

Heck, I don't use cross drilled's, and frankly I couldn't care if another person ever used them again...but I can't help feeling like your tyriad against cross drilling rotors is a little sensational and under-supported, kindof like the typical "Inside Edition" report.

I guess buyer beware always applies, I'd be interested in seeing some real #'s or a good analysis of those rotors to determinte the true mode of failure.
