Canadian Pharmacy: how could you do this to us?!? September 15, 2009

And they have such a nice  logo:

But  here’s what they put in email to sell pills like viagra:

Order now and drill her tonight!
Once your body gets such power stimulus as our products provide? You get stallion power and eagerness. All girls need it, all girls want it from you. Give it to her and be her King!

Why, they are mixing metaphors!  What is going on in Canada!

(That is, this is so over the top it doesn’t need philosophical analysis.)

    Actually it’s a bit sad for all those men out there who feel themselves forced into this stallion role that no one wants.
    But yeah, I tend to think it is more sad that women are reduced to broodmares.

    “All girls need it, all girls want it from you.”

    That’s pretty messed up, on a whole bunch of levels.

    Sorry, hetero ladies. It appears that the pile-driver method of lovemaking will remain the standard default style. We apologise for the seemingly endless stream of sexually uncreative men and for you having to endure the resultant dearth in non-self-induced orgasms. We are, however, currently working on establishing a system of glue factories to which these sexual stallions can be quietly sent. Please be patient.

    Cpt Darling, it would be a neat ontological trick to turn a delusion into glue.

    Cpt. Darling. I hold you responsible for me spraying a perfectly good single malt whisky over my screen!

    Unfortunately, even internet scammers can hide behind the flag and use sexist imagery in their scams.

    (Actually, part of what’s going on in Canada is that a) the government is quite behind in anti-spam legislation compared to other industrialized nations and b) due to some private companies taking advantage of the bulk purchasing rates the provinces have set up with the large pharmaceutical cos, combined with a high degree of integration with the American market, there are a lot of internet pharmacies based there.)

    Wow. Of course, the same industry once sent me a Viagra spam titled “Set your wife on fire”.

  8. jj Says:

    J-Bro, so it is the metaphors!

  9. Jender Says:

    Wow.

  10. J-Bro Says:

    I hope it’s a metaphor. Either that, or a poorly-marketed product for people with a fire juggling fetish.

  11. Jeff Says:

    If you dont like it, don’t go there. Besides lots of women want it for their boyfriends or husband. Maybe you don’t like having sex. Grow up and loosen up.

  12. jj Says:

    Jeff, you don’t understand, I’m afraid. The objection is to the language, not to sex or the medication.
