IKF New Low: Herbal Dianabal Ad

[mickey]

On page 11 of the February 2004 issue of Inside Kung Fu is the an ad for Herbal Dianabal. Even if it is a good product, the makers chose to name it similar to a popular steroid, dianabol. Anything suggestive of any kind of drug use does not belong in the martial arts magazines that we read. We have children reading this stuff! It does not belong there. What will be next? Ads for Herbal Crack? Herbal Marijuana?

...we'd probably advertise herbal marijuana, if they paid us. ;)

[Chang Style Novice]

I wasn't aware there was any kind of marijuana BUT herbal.

[norther practitioner]

Well, um, love don't pay the bills.

Gene,

You are one funny guy! I gave you a soapbox to stand on and here you are looking inside the box for soap. Very, very funny.

lol @ "herbal dianabal"

[GeneChing]

...I got some nice herbal soap in my stocking from Santa. Seriously, Mysore Sandlewood soap. I love that stuff.

Thanks for the set up Mickey, we do appreciate the sentiment. So how do we find these marijuana advertisers again?

[mickey]

Gene,

I had to do some serious research on this and at great financial cost to find the sellers of herbal marijuana.

They are at: No Choke on My Smoke
14-14 Toke Toke Road
Bambu Suite #23
Green Leaf, Florida
696969

Wow, that was almost funny

[GeneChing]

... we did once have a production meeting where the topic of advertisers we would refuse came up. We'd probably refuse our major competitors, since they do the same for us for the most part. We would accept liquor or beer advertisers for all of our drunken style practitioners. We were uncommitted about sexual aids and tobacco. Iron crotch (http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/prjt001.html) is sort of a sexual aid. Until they contact us, it's a moot point really.

[norther practitioner]

Does that mean I can start advertising my escort service?

once again, NP is trying to pimp out vash. sorry, buddy, it isn't going to work.

[norther practitioner]

Now I just need to fill out a little more on this paper work and I will be able to fullfil that mail order bride you have been trying to order.

First, the "V" is CAPITOL. ;)

Second, I am not "pimped out," I'm the one who does the pimping.

*b!tch-slap from NP*
Vash: Ow! Don' hit me no mo, big daddy!

[rubthebuddha]

... I will be able to fullfil that mail order bride you have been trying to order. about freaking time, boyo. this blow-up doll has definitely seen better days. :eek:

Thanks Gene,

At least you do take the time to consider what you will and will not sell. When it comes to sexual aids, yes, condoms are sexual aids; but so are whips, chains and a whole plethora of latex rubber devices and attachments. The question then becomes: how freaky do you get for a dollar?(laughter)

Now for the sake of the magazine please defer the decision on whether to promote sexual aids to the most backed up person in your office. On second thought send it to the person who knows how to say no. I don't think you can qualify here. I rember seeing you on kwoon accidentally attending an "adult convention." That was hilarious!!

If I see your magazine offreing a special price for whipped cream, cherries and walnuts, I know you are all finished.
