Zen Mastery Pills, No Need To Practice

This ad seen on my Facebook page just now so perfectly illustrates how far The Western Mind is from grasping what "zen" is about. Maybe it's just me, but I laughed outloud when I saw this:
Zen Meditatation [sic]
"You told me I'd meditate like a Zen monk, literally at the touch of a button, and it's true! This is like meditation on steriods!"

This is like those herbal diet pills that make you lose weight without exercising, and you can eat anything you want, except worse because the whole point of Zen meditation is the *practice*, not *mastery as a ring to grab*. The linked-to site in case you feel the perverse desire to read this tragicomic scam.
