AMERICA'S FINEST NEWS SOURCE, 17 JULY 2002, VOLUME 38 ISSUE 25
GOVERNMENT
Anti-Spam Legislation Opposed By
Powerful Penis-Enlargement Lobby
WASHINGTON, DC -- Efforts to pass legislation restricting Internet
"spam" -- unsolicited mass e-mails usually for advertising purposes --
are meeting with strong resistance from the nation's powerful
penis-enlargement lobby.
"If this legislation passes, the government would, for all intents and
purposes, be taking three to four inches off America's cocks," said Denny
Garner, president of the National Association of Penis Enlargers (NAPE),
speaking to reporters Monday. "For millions of poorly hung American men,
spam is a vital source of information about penis-enlargement options,
and our elected officials have no right to take it away from them."
Added Garner: "MAKE YOUR DICK BIGGER THAN A CLUB!!!"
H.R. 2319, or the Electronic Mail Limitations Act, is slated to go before
the House of Representatives next week. The bill would empower states to
prosecute so-called "spammers" and impose fines or jail time against
adults convicted of e-mailing unsolicited advertisements to strangers.
If signed into law, H.R. 2319 would likely prove devastating to
manufacturers and vendors of pills, pumps, and creams designed to
increase penis size.
"The entire penis-enlargement industry is threatened by this bill,"
Garner said. "Despite what most people think, not all penis-pill and
penis-pump makers are big and wealthy. There are many self-starting
entrepreneurs who play a vital role in keeping the industry competitive.
This bill would drive them out of the marketplace, leaving only the large
multinationals like the Dong Group."
"Congress may feel pressure to kowtow to the interests of anti-spam
consumer-advocacy groups," Garner continued, "but they do so at the
expense of the hardworking men and women of Penis Pump Fabricators Local
704 of Toledo, who make Cockzilla Wonder Pumps to put food on the table
for their families. These are the real victims of this bill."
In addition to NAPE, other groups are taking steps to halt the
legislation. Last Thursday, Applied Products Limited, makers of
Thunderdick Cockstretchin' Pillz, ran a full-page ad in USA Today urging
Congress to vote down H.R. 2319. Ron Jeremy, adult-film star and host of
the popular late-night talk show Sex Talk, has been aggressively lobbying
Sen. Christopher Bond (R-MO), who is expected to be a key swing vote
should the bill proceed to the Senate.
"I don't recall the First Amendment saying, 'Speech is free unless you're
promoting a pill that's guaranteed to make your dick longer and thicker,'"
Jeremy said. "I honestly cannot find that phrase. If this nation's men did
not desire meaty, 10-inch schlongs, then products to achieve that end
would not exist, much less sell. This bill suppresses something Americans
need and want."
Albert Tuckman, co-director of the D.C.-based Save Our Spam, echoed
Jeremy's sentiments, condemning the bill as unconstitutional.
"If an American entrepreneur cannot use media outlets to promote his
dick-lengthening product, what can he use it for?" Tuckman said. "As
surely as every man has the inalienable right to add up to four
terrifying inches to his wang, I have the right to inform them how and
for what price this may be achieved."
"There is no moral gray area here," Tuckman continued. "This is a story
of right and wrong and miracle 14-inch horse cocks.................
Become a SUPERSTUD!!!"
Supporting the penis-enlargement lobby in its efforts are other groups
threatened by the anti-spam legislation.
"The penis enlargers have shrewdly formed a coalition with other
industries that depend heavily upon mass e-mail, including the American
Association To LOSE WEIGHT FAST and the National Alliance To GET OUT OF
DEBT NOW," said Nicholas Lerman of the Cato Institute. "This coalition
also includes the formidable National Organization To GO FROM AN A-CUP TO
A D IN JUST 10 DAYS."
Roger Skolnick, genitalia-enhancement editor of Newsweek, said the
anti-spam bill would damage one of the few thriving sectors of the U.S.
economy.
"Sales of penis-enlargement treatments and devices in 2000 totaled in
excess of $600 million," Skolnick said. "Cock-lengthening is, no pun
intended, a consistent growth industry in the U.S., and this bill would
severely emasculate it. As usual, it's the little guy who suffers."
