Smilin’ Bob = Epic Fail

enzyte lawsuit busted liars.jpgIf you have a small penis the only thing you can do about it is buy a gun.

I can finally say that with the authority of judicial precedent behind me. As the WSJ Law Blog reported yesterday, Steve Warshak, founder of Enzyte, was sentenced to 25 for defrauding sad, pathetic men.

I have often watched the late night replay of the Daily Show and Colbert and wished, nay prayed, that somebody would put an end to this stupid ad-campaign so I could get back to Girls Gone Wild promos. Though U.S. District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel ruled that the company would be allowed to stay in business, one expects civil litigation to destroy once and forever the concept of “natural male enhancement.”

There are lots of penis products on television, usually in the form of car commercials. But the lack of subtlety from these Enzyte jerks is just totally out of place for the quiet, drunken depression that marks watching late night television. Get out of my head Smilin’ Bob, I do not believe you!

Now if we could only get rid of commercials telling me that I have to keep it up for 36 hours, life would be better.

As a gun owner with a large penis, I'd say that if you have a small penis, the only thing you can do about it is become an editor of Above the Law.

A more interesting discussion would be whether women actually care about this issue. There are more endearing aspects of intimacy that are often glossed over in favor of this more conspicuous one.

From Harpers a couple months back:
***
From an email sent in 2005 by Jason Cossman, owner of Pacific Health, Inc., a dietary-supplement company, to his uncle Steven Warshak, owner of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals. In February, Warshak was convicted of fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy in connection with the sale of EnzYte, which was marketed as amale-sexual-enhancement pill. The email, which Warshak forwarded to employees, was introduced by the prosecution as evidence in the trial.

Subject: Our Outbound Strategy

We have two eye products that are the same,
more or less, with different brand names, Claroxan
and Amercil. Claroxan people are on autocontinuity
at $84.50 a month (we just jacked up
the price), but pretty much everyone cancels after
two months. Our outbound lists are just the
lists of people who canceled Claroxan.
We call them and tell them we are a company
contracted by a hospital to do health surveys.
Our rep begins by asking eyesight questions, and
the customer inevitably tells our rep they took
Claroxan but it was too expensive. Our rep then
tells them about Amercil, an eyesight tablet the
hospital is promoting, which works like Claroxan
but has a higher-quality formula, at a fraction
of the price. Just 'cuz they decided the
$84.50 was a rip-off doesn't mean they won't
cough up more lootl!l!

The poor customer bites, thinking he's getting
a deal, even though he's actually getting
taken by my company for the second time
around!!!! That's it. No advertising! No website
even! Pretty much pure profit.

The scheme is beautiful. Dreamed it up after
many a bong hit one night. These customers
are fish in a barrel, man. Exploit the shit out of
them. If you outbounded all your Enzyte people
and told them Ogoplex (or any sex product you
could dream up) worked better and was much
cheaper, I think enough'd bite on it to make
your media dollars work harder for you. But
then again-what the fuck do I know?

"A more interesting discussion would be whether women actually care about this issue."

Maybe to you, but lots of men want a large penis and couldn't care less what women want. (No I'm not talking about gay men.) It simply feels powerful and manly, whether or not she really cares about it.

Is Elie male or female?: I looked at its picture on the "meet-the-new-editor post," and I can't tell. And, I was too lazy to read if it described itself as a man or a woman. The picture reminds me of Pat from the old SNL skits.

The truth, from a woman:

1. It's true, no one likes a small penis. Except maybe in prison.
2. However, average to above-average length (6"-8") is preferable to the huge units oft featured in porn. An average sized penis is just more versatile.

By the way, we also don't like penetration for more than ten minutes--regardless of what you've heard in the latest R&B song or seen in porn. Spend the rest of the time on foreplay. Please.

You're welcome.

43 Posted by guest | Permalink Thursday, August 28, 2008 1:38 PM

38: I doubt you expected to be taken seriously. Nevertheless, a person's preferred dildo length probably exceeds their preferred penis length. If you're using a dildo by hand, you need some extra length so you can actually hold on to it. If you're using it in a harness, you still need a little bit of extra length to secure it to the harness.

While I think your suggestion that no one is into 4" penises is superficially correct, I'd also like to point out that the length of the shaft on popular women's sex toys--e.g. the rabbit--is not as long as the typical man would expect.

First off if your size is small find a woman that prefers a small “member" this does exist. If you are large you may benefit from a woman that prefers and can accommodate a large "member" as too long and most women complain. I must say though most women I have been with all enjoy girth compared to approximately 70% of the women I have been with complain and ask me not to go too deep. So in all honesty I would trade my length (which is not massive just slightly above average at almost nine inches) for more girth (I am average to slightly above average in girth) anytime if that where possible. This is my honest view from my own experience. So in summary length equals pain for most women as most women I speak to prefer girth.
