I find the whole "male enhancement" marketing ??? schtick? to be a joke. I'm wondering how soon before it "devolves" into the sale of men's underwear with padding or push-up features....as found in, say....Victoria's Secret lingere? And from there, we can expect to see the return of codpieces, like they had in the Middle Ages in Europe?

Codpieces are so metal.

Been done. Back in the '80's there used to be a company that sold 'Bulger Underwear'. It was sorta a bra for Mr. Happy. They used to advertise in the back of Penthouse, etc.

Not that I ever needed them...

Of course not, in the grass roots way you were probably growing your own cucumbers.

I'd raid Grammy's veggie patch on the way out. Ya did whatever it took to get the girls in the discos to take notice.

I stumbled across an "American Male" catalog in an old box of stuff(an old Rockville BMX box, for you old-skool BMX guys out there)a couple weeks ago. We all fell over when we saw the "Moroccan Bikini" advertised in there. lol

Discovering that catalog also gave me the epiphany that my Mother must have been trying to give me the hint to change my wardrobe...of course, there was also a "California Cheap Skates" catalog in there, so it obviously didn't work!

The end of civilization as we know it, averted?

Idiocracy:

Narrator: The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.
