\"11-15-2010<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a piece of\u00a0USP Labs’\u00a0write up for PowerFULL<\/a> – an alleged growth hormone secretagogue. Paul asked me to pen a review for it, so naturally, I read the company spiel in detail.\u00a0 And when I\u00a0saw the CEO’s message,\u00a0my jaw damn near hit the floor:<\/p>\n

PowerFULL\u2122 is another quality product from USPlabs. As with any natural product, this is critical<\/em>. Otherwise, you might as well be swallowing dirt. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you truly want to experience the awesome effects but don’t want to be a pin cushion or Bubba’s “girlfriend” in the slammer<\/strong>, I suggest you order now while supplies are in stock<\/em>…<\/p>\n

Best,<\/p>\n

Jacob Geissler – CEO<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emphasis mine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In case you’re unclear on the language, a “pin cushion” is a term of contempt applied to “a female who will take it in any hole,” or “a slut.”<\/a>\u00a0And, of course, being “Bubba’s ‘girlfriend’ in the slammer” is self-explanatory… we’re talkin’ prison rape.<\/p>\n

Wow. Just wow.<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such\u00a0blatant homophobia used to sell a product before.\u00a0What Geissler – in effect –\u00a0is saying: “use\u00a0our product to get big\/strong, so other men won’t brutally rape\u00a0or sexually\u00a0humiliate\u00a0you like\u00a0a little b***h.”<\/p>\n

This isn’t witty, funny or cute… not by a long shot. Rape – particularly prison rape – is a crime that leaves victims scarred and traumatized… and often without any recourse for justice.\u00a0 To use this imagery to sell a supplement<\/em> – of all things – is about as low as it’s possible to go.<\/p>\n

Even worse, the CEO actually signed his name<\/em> to this vile and repulsive\u00a0“buy now”\u00a0pitch.\u00a0Memo to Jacob Geissler: I’d just as soon swallow dirt than wallow in it… or finance its spread with my supplement dollars.<\/p>\n

I don’t doubt that there are those who would say I’m overreacting – it’s just an ad, doncha know.\u00a0 But that’s the point: by trivializing human suffering and trauma, we become inured to it. So no, I’m not gonna overlook\u00a0this\u00a0or make excuses for it – it’s unnecessary and disgusting (not to mention, potentially\u00a0triggering for actual victims of sexual assault).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
