Why he might be annoying:

    X-Ray Specs consist of feathers sandwiched between pieces of cardboard with holes in them.
    The Amazing Sea Monkeys are brine shrimp, bearing little resemblance to the illustrations in the ads.
    He was a financial contributor to the Aryan Nations and the Ku Klux Klan.

Why he might not be annoying:

    A couple weeks allowance is a modest price for learning the lesson 'caveat emptor.'
