These ads seem particularly sleazy - herbs masquerading as drugs claiming to treat medical conditions playing on fear and embarrassment.

"Oops. Bender, you don't really want a refund do you?"

"All $9,719.00 Bob."

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..but must forfeit $500 million..."

They have that much money!

[gondramB]

Yeah, who is gonna ask for a refun with this requirement

>>Among their most egregious offenses was a requirement of a Notarized statement from a doctor certifying that they had a small penis.<<

They probably have every cent they ever made with that requirement.

Among their most egregious offenses was a requirement of a Notarized statement from a doctor certifying that they had a small penis. Amazingly, remarkably few customers availed themselves of the refund offer

What was amazing about the fact that very few of the customers wanted to get a notarized statement from their doctor that they had a little tiny tallywacker? Would anyone here wish to do that? What if the notary, the doctor, or a nurse talked?

This guy’s a sleeze. But I’ve had great luck with my Chinese herbal doc. I don’t even know where my regular cane is.

I would convict them even if the product worked simply because the commercials were so annoying. :)

Now the Japanese Enzyte commercial is funny

Fraudulent, but funny.

I'm waiting for Obama to claim...

Cheers!

I certainly did not mean that herbs are never helpful.

In fact many drugs are isolations of substances from herbs.

[SpaceBar]

Is the convicted individual Steve Warshak the person pictured, or is that pic simply some unknown actor paid to portray the grinning customer for their advertisements?

[Dysart]

I didn't know Bender2 was Malyasian or had so many erectile issues.

[MarMema]

marking to read later

[gondramB]

I’m pretty sure that an actor..but i’m not positive.

[big'ol_freeper]

LOL...well, Bender is nuts, but I hear he is a well-oiled machine.

Ingredients

Despite being a compound of herbs, minerals, and vitamins, Enzyte formerly promoted itself under a fake scientific name of Suffragium asotas. While Enzyte's manufacturer claims this phrase translates as "better sex," this is incorrect; suffragium in Latin means vote, and asotas is not a Latin word at all. Harvard teaching fellow Rhett Martin says that the phrase might be an error for suffragor asotis, meaning "refuge for the dissipated."[2]

The sleazy character was convicted last February. He has had six months to “get his affairs in order.” Why does he need another thirty days? Lock him up!
