Sorry guys and gals, no more great e-mails to liven up your day with those male enhancement pills.
The FTC got a federal judge in Chicago to put a stop (issue a temporary injunction) to the operations of the largest spamming operation in the world. They also got its assets frozen. (I wonder if they included frozen sperm deposits???[}:)])
Seems they accounted for 80+% of all that 'enhancement' spam e-mails!

I didn't even realize that spam was an option for male enhancement. How do they get it to stay on and in the proper shape?
