Listen Up folks, eavesdropper coming

Busybodies will definitely love the Listen Up Personal Sound Amplifier. This device is apparently so powerful, it is capable of taking in the softest whispers loud and clear. I suppose this device will find its way into the hands of people with a questionable sense of ethics, as any morally upright citizen would know better than listening in on an intimate conversation uninvited. What makes the entire deal sound fishy is the $14.99 price tag that manages to earn the retailer a profit in addition to paying off the cost of manufacturing one. Do you think this is a legit device, or just another misinformed product making its way round the Internet?
