Smiling Bob indicted

I can't believe this. I just cannot believe it. I'm shocked.

The company that gives us those repulsive Smiling Bob commercials for "natural male enhancement" has been indicted for consumer fraud. According to the AP, a federal indictment makes the following accusations against Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, which makes Enzyte and other dietary supplements:

— Customers responding to free-trial offers were placed in an automatic shipping program, through which credit cards were billed without authorization. The company at various times offered full refunds, “double your money back,” and “triple your money back” guarantees that were false.

— Complaints were referred to Michael Johnson, director of customer care, who did not exist.

— Advertising for Enzyte, the male-enhancement supplement, says it was developed by two doctors — one at Harvard and one at Stanford — after 13 years of studying human blood flow. Neither doctor existed.

A year or two ago, Consumer Reports bought some Enzyte and found it contained nothing special, if memory serves me well.

So how is Smiling Bob's wife taking this news?

Although I will give Smiling Bob credit for one thing. The jingle that plays on his commercials is much less irritating than the one that plays on Cialis commercials. Not that I like either. And I sure don't like those commercials coming on when I'm watching something with my daughter.
