I don’t get much spam these days but one type that continues to slip through the defenses is e-mail promising to extend, well, my member.
Some of are downright insulting, describing it as a “baby carrot” while others contend I could be a more satisfying partner if only I would augment my appendage to “the necessary size”.
Not that I’m concerned about my carrot but if I was, I wonder whether any of these generous offers would lead to a better – and bigger – love life. Maybe some of these offers are legit. Maybe people who feel they’ve been short-changed can find salvation from the Web.
I can’t believe anyone really believes any of these offers but if they keep on coming, there must be an audience. I mean, why would a spammer flood millions of inboxes with stuff that fails to resonate with people. This leads me to believe lots of people must click through on this type of spam. Who are these people?
Just out of curiosity, I did a Google search on “extend your penis”, which returned 94,100 results. This included two AdSense ads for extension exercises, which supports the concept there is demand for these, um, services.
If there’s an upside, it was a search for “baby carrot” generated several pages about vegetables, recipes, etc.

Fun post Mark. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been searching in the gym showers, but I’ve never heard of orange “members” before. Then again, I don’t suppose there are very many flesh-toned, vegetables of the 2-3 inch variety out there.
As you know already, the downside to Internet marketing approaches for well endowed people like us, is that it’s so damn cheap to send thousands of emails to people. All it takes is for one or two gullible idiots to click “purchase” and reinforce the mass email concept.
It’s the “squeegy kids” effect: If everybody in Toronto just said NO and stopped paying the vagrants cleaning our car windshields, the model would fail and the kids would go away.
The same is true for Internet marketing – if nobody clicked “purchase” we could all live in peace with our small, carrot-coloured members.
