A Harlem man has filed suit against the makers of the nutritional drink Boost, charging that the protein shake gave him the wrong kind of lift. Christopher Woods said that drinking cans of Boost Plus Nutritional Energy Drink left him with an erection that wouldn't go away. He said he had to undergo two medical procedures and as a result, he's now partially impotent. The case dates to June 2004, which is when he said his mother bought him a case of the protein drink in hopes he would bulk up. "It was supposed to be a health supplement," he said....... - and soon had a very visible side effect..."It was awful. It was painful. I would always wear jeans, but it was hard to go out, so I had to buy some sweatpants"

Boost Plus may end up paying this guy something. But I expect sales to increase and make up for it.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

This sounds almost like a “viral campaign”, you know, where they use real life like an advertising space.

Some people just don't know when they're well off. My medicine men recomended that I drink Ensure, and all I get is hypoglycemia.
