My all-time favorite is the beauty cream made with extracts (which 
extracts?) from plants that grow under high voltage lines, therefore the 
cream will help (how much?) protect you against EMI.

The runner-up:
A spokesperson for one of the beauty companies who was asked about the 
cancer-causing products (mainly formaldehyde) used in beauty salons who 
replied that "since skin was impermeable, it was impossible for those 
chemicals to get in your body.  To which the reporter retorted: "So 
you're saying all those skin creams that your company makes that are 
supposed to be "deep-penetrating" actually don't work?"
