Remember "Smiling Bob," the "natural male enhancement" guy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

and those obnoxious Enzyte commercials? Looks like those folks are in a heap o' trouble.

"The maker of dietary supplements that claim to improve everything from sexuality to memory defrauded thousands of customers and banks of at least $100 million, federal authorities say. A federal indictment names Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, its owner and president, Steven Warshak, and five other individuals, including Warshak's mother, on charges that include conspiracy, money laundering, and mail, wire and bank fraud.

They are accused by federal authorities of luring customers with free-trial offers and money-back guarantees, then billing their credit cards without authorization...

The company, which recently said it has 5 million customers worldwide, is known for its "Smiling Bob" ads that depict a man whose life gets better after he uses the company's Enzyte for "natural male enhancement." The company markets nationally a variety of other products claiming to help everything from night vision to memory to female libido....

"The company president and others made up information in their advertisements, such as endorsements by doctors that did not exist, and results of customer satisfaction surveys that had never been conducted," U.S. Attorney Greg Lockhart said."

:rofl:

So the whole scheme seems to be a bit, er, limp.

2. That's the commercial where he dives in the pool, right?

I absolutely HATE those commercials. I'd love to see them all in prison! Thanks for the heads up...it made me smile!

7. Every time he dives into that pool,

I pray he'll hit his head on the bottom and drown.


Does that make me a bad person? :evilgrin:

Risk and reward.
