I just want to say the bit about not giving a refund unless the customer obtained a notarized note from their doctor stating they had a small penis to be rather ingenious. ---

Yes, it would be mildly clever if it were a joke. ---

Gold!”_ There’s a series of infomercials I’ve seen that have “testimonials” from a bunch of hot chicks that are essentially saying “Yeah, I need a big ol’ pecker inside me, and chances are you, the home viewer, don’t have one, so if you want any shot at me, you better buy this crap we’re selling.” I’m going to start selling sugar pills, and my advertisements are basically going to say “Only needle-dicked little faggots wouldn’t buy my product. You’re not a faggot, are you? Huh, faggot?” It’s the logical next step. ---
