The point I am trying to make here is that we live within a species that focuses on imperfection, oddities and perversions, probably since the beginning of life. So why shouldn’t we give the people what they want in order to make a buck? Why do you think that they made six Nightmare on Elm Street movies and only one Ghandi? People are entertained by others misfortunes and imperfections, which has ultimately been commercialized with the onset of reality T.V. You cannot even change the channel without either seeing a poor soul ingesting pounds of live worms, or getting their heart broken on live television by a woman they spent an evening date with in the living rooms of millions of dedicated watchers.

Now, this is where I must part ways with kind commentary to these great products and point out some obvious obscenities to the commercial market. Who in their right mind would buy a deluxe model bull’s freeze dried sexual organ for one hundred dollars a piece. It would sure seem much more cost effective to visit the nearest ranch site to gather a few golf club shafts yourself. Furthermore, what is this process of preserving such a miracle of nature anyway? I mean, all men like to brag a little, but I just have to admit I cannot imagine using this as a third leg, or slamming a golf ball 300 yards down a fairway.

I shouldn’t even have to mention the fact that a few scratches of bark off an ancient tree in the jungles of Sabu, Africa, mixed with the semen of a one eyed baboon with thirty fingers and toes and three testicles is not worth eighty dollars a monthly supply. Common sense tells each of you reading this that none of this stuff is going to work as it claims it will, yet with the expense and popularity of such ads, someone is buying this stuff. If it is not you or I, then please make it your dedication for the day to save a lost friend from making a poor decision tomorrow.

I have to admit, these ads have proven to be extremely effective tools in grabbing the attention of today’s desensitized market audience, but miserably fail to give their actual worth and it is up to you to read past the bull (no pun intended) and not be taken by their clever advertising. These marketers have mastered the art of attention, now all we need are some worthy products, and I think we will be on to something. Perhaps if these companies had spent more on the research of the product itself and a little less for the marketing, these would have been as useful as the once popular pet rock, but then again…

maybe they are…
