This is nothing but poetic justice in action. For making me sit through the the most obnoxious commercials ever made starring the most obnoxious character ever invented, the one, the only... Smilin' Bob...
Well Mr. Warshak, about the best I can wish for you is that the Bubba who makes you his jail house prom queen didn't need your phony "male enhancement" product. 
Ohio company owner gets 25 years in fraud case Now if they could just find some reason to toss old Bob in there with you. Maybe he could do your Mom's time, eh? Last edited by Nofsdad on Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:49 pm; edited 1 time in total |

And for a pack/carton of cigarettes we'll see just how much "Smilin' Steve" smiles...

as lame as the product probably was, the adverts were actually pretty funny, in that 'over-the-top-will-be-a-trivia-question-in 10-years' kinda way
Mrs Bob cracked me up. |

Well, I guess I've just gotten too old for juvenile snickering and infantile innuendo. It's like it's aimed at ten year olds hiding in the tree house tittering and giggling over daddy's latest issue of Hustler.

| The product is pure snake oil, but the ad campaign was so over the top it will be a classic in a few years. | |

| Comcast still runs commercials for several other products just like it. An especially obnoxious one is the one that keeps repeating the phrase, "That certain part of the male anatomy". | |
