Should this post be yanked before or after penis-enlargement-pills?

April 23, 2003 4:25 PM

So this thread isn't exactly an advertisement, but it does link to a site whose actual purpose seems to be to sell some sort of penis-enlargement-pill.

I'm not saying that the post should get yanked, but I am wondering whether content whose purpose is to advertise a product should really be the subject of a front page post.

I agree. It's plainly an ad for that herbal enlargement product disguised as a health article, not unlike those awful "Jamie Ireland" sex advice advercolumns in the back of FHM. (Anyone who's spent any time at Photodisc will recognize the "columnist's" head shot from the first month or two.)

I think they're selling access to an on-line manual, presumably with "techniques" that make your johnson bigger, as opposed to a pill of some kind. I point this out to be pedantic.

It's still freakish and absurd, spam or no, and therefore interesting.

Many of the sites posted are for products or services, but they are still cool.
The hats for cats, bikinis, car crash bonsia, all are links to sites hoping to get your money, but they are still interesting.

This post was deleted for the following reason: it's a fucking spam site

I love those reasons for deletion.

There was a lot of talk a couple years back about net enabled PDAs that would scan product barcodes at stores and give you the low-down of the corporations producing the items.

I love this idea, except for the whole having-to-buy-a-PDA-first thing.

Yeah, how exactly would you scan your perspective bar scanner and PDA for corporate info if you didn't have the equipment already? I wouldn't want to buy a shitty company's product after all!

Does anybody know if the pills/technique works? Please email me. Thx.

Remember CueCat? They were a shitty company that'd send you equipment for free.
