For the last couple of years there have been three people that I've wished I could kick the crap out of. They're Eddie Lampert, Billy Mays and Smilin' Bob who all of a sudden ain't livin' quite as large as he once was.

Y'all know Bob. He's that grinning little idiot that comes on TV after 10 at night and tries to convince you that taking those little pills he shills for adds to his life's little pleasures by providing what nature didn't, at least of a size sufficient to pleasure his ugly wife and impress the local matrons at afternoon barbecues when he flashes half the neighborhood gathered around the neighbor's pool. Anyway:

Smilin' Bob Bites The Not So Big One
Quote:
The makers of the erectile dysfunction product popularized by the "Smiling Bob" ads will pay $2.5 million and provide consumers restitution to settle a multi-state enforcement action that alleges the defendants made unsubstantiated claims about dietary supplements' effectiveness and automatically billed consumers for products they never requested.

Quote:
The states' complaints allege the defendants violated state laws prohibiting false or deceptive advertising and unfair business practices.

The Attorneys General allege the defendants, in their advertisements, made claims about the effectiveness of their products that were not supported by reliable, competent scientific evidence.

The defendants made such unsubstantiated claims about more than 10 of their products, including Enzyte, the erectile dysfunction pill used by Smiling Bob. The defendants' ads claimed Enzyte would improve male sexual function and performance and give them firmer, fuller-feeling erections

Looks like old Bob's gonna have to find something else to provide that gentle swell of pleasure he's gotten so used to if he wants to stay on TV.

"Bob" is an actor, performing a simple paid gig. Calling him an idiot and his wife ugly was uncalled for. Very poor class.

Really? An actor!?!?! I had no idea. You mean it's not real life? Omogsh, I had no idea!!!!!!
Surprised Surprised Surprised

Seriously, what's your problem? Of all the reactions I would have expected, from "lame" to "not funny", I certainly didn't expect a lecture from Mr. Eldorado Royale on how commercials aren't real and that the people in them are just actors.

And then especially, for him to try to take me to task for calling the non-existent Smiling Bob's non-existent wife ugly... really man, that's reaching for it even for someone with as nasty a disposition as you seem to have and just about as classless as you're accusing me of being.

Are you dumb enough to actually not recognize my feeble little attempt at satire for what it was, or dumb enough to think I'm dumb enough to believe Smilin' Bob is for real?

I'm not sure exactly what your complaint is based on exactly but thanks for spamming the thread. Maybe next week you can explain how Santa isn't real and that there is no tooth fairy. Now wouldn't THAT would be classy!

Wow, you simply cannot resist calling people names, can you? That's alright, I'll let you keep enjoying your rambling. Power tripping on a message board must be your only remaining solace in life. Enjoy yourself, Nofsdad.

I intend to excaper.

I didn't show up somewhere and start berating you. In fact I've ignored you totally up until you made this personal with your snotty little post and I don't need your permission to keep right on enjoying myself.

Actually the stupid ads are still running on ComCast out here. Looks like the AG is satisfied just getting the fines and restitutions but intends to let the company go right on running the same misleading ads he got them for.

I'd rather put up with the Gecko than that loudmouthed Billy Mays who sells all that Oxy-Clean and other chemical cleaning crap. I cannot believe that's his normal voice.
