If you're trying to get laid on Craigslist, here's a tip: Tell the women you meet that you're former NBA veteran Jeff Turner. Apparently, ladies love journeyman power forwards with a career six-points-per-game average, yet even the most die-hard female hoops junkie probably won't realize that you're lying. It's the (almost) perfect crime! (seattlepi.nwsource.com via bostonist.com)

The makers of fake penis-expanding pill Enzyte are thinking about maybe making some minor "changes" to the business, since you know ... all their top executives, the company founder (and his mother) were convicted of bank fraud, money laundering and conspiracy charges and admitted in federal court that their product is a complete fairy tale. You would think those are the kind of setbacks that would put a company out of business, but that's the American entrepreneurial spirit for you! (avn.com)

TV Reporter Clearly Did Not Order These "Girls Gone Wild" Videos

We've all been there before: it's late at night, you're home alone, maybe you've had a few drinks ... and then those commercials start. You know the ones, for those DVDs featuring saucy young girls doing inappropriate things in the back of a bus? So you call the number, give them your credit card info, and then fall asleep and forget about it. But what do you do when the discs actually start showing up at your house? You take your alibi case to the American people! You see, there has obviously been some sort of mistake here, because who would ever do such a thing as order these tawdry exploitative DVDs? We will get the bottom of this!

Latest by Brian47: Actually yes, that's a fair point, although when I was a kid there wasn't anything like this advertised on TV. But at least we had HBO and my parents had a small porn stash of their own. They more »

Until we see more evidence than just a single screencap, we're sticking by our assertion that that "Kristen Davis Sex Tape" isn't what the people hawking it says it is. Our "Sex And The City"-loving colleagues at Defamer, however, have no such scruples. Bless their pervy hearts. (defamer.com)

Hate to break the news — and not that we've always been 100% correct about these sorts of things before — but if a celebrity sex tape like one purporting to star "Sex And The City"'s Kristen Davis sounds too good to be true (and requires you to sign up for some dodgy pay site to see the rest), it probably is. But you knew all that already, right? (theblemish.com)

Recently widowed German women should watch out for scammers who are sending bills for mail-order pornography and claiming it was secretly purchased by their dead husbands. Your beloved almost certainly did buy porn, but we're pretty sure you don't have pay for it once they're gone. (news24.com)

To the surprise of ... well, no one really, it turns out those Enzyte "male enhancement supplements" are completely worthless. Even a former executive just admitted in court that their marketing was total bullshit. We're not legal experts, but that might hurt them in their little $100 million federal fraud case. (Oh, and in case you hadn't figured it out yet, don't buy them.) (enquirer.com)

Web scammers have figured out a way to get you, the internet user, to defeat those annoying CAPTCHA word verification systems for them—through the magic of porn, of course. It's pretty brilliant actually, even if those things are already useless anyway. (bbc.co.uk + pcmag.com)

Is someone reposting the infamous Craigslist "prank" ad to lure in more unsuspecting domination lovers? Or are they just bored and uncreative? Unless you don't mind having your co-workers find out what a freak you are, you should probably look the other way. (craigslist.org - thanks, mp!)
