Oh, if I had never seen those obnoxious "Smiling Bob" commercials...
It's the weirdest thing; it's like we never grew out of those days when peddlers went from town to town selling one bogus potion or another. Somehow, despite regulations and laws, many of those fraudsters still manage to pull the wool over so many eyes and sell their products by the millions. Perhaps it's the promised hope that we just can't resist.
Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals is one such company, known for making and marketing Enzyte, the so-called "once a day natural male enhancement" -- whatever that means. From the commercials it can mean anything from self confidence to bigger appendages, I guess, but it's called a sexual enhancement.
Good news, though. The founder of Berkeley, Steve Warshak, joined the infamous WorldCom's Ebbers and Enron's Skilling with his own 25-year jail sentence on Wednesday. He was convicted earlier this year on 93 counts of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering.
