California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms
Ronin writes "The DenverPost reports that 'A California man on Thursday sued a slew of international companies, including a Greeley distributor, alleging the penis-enlargement products they market and distribute do not work.' One of the highlights of the article is when the man says "I was wondering for a long time why no one has gotten around to suing these penis-enlargement guys, because it seems like a pretty blatant ... fraud." Probably cause people are too embarrased to say they've tried it."
Guy is in California, lawyer is in New York, suit filed in Denver, companies are in Cyprus and British Columbia. Yeah, it's a little confusing.
I belong to the ______ generation.
The guy is from California. The lawsuit was filed in Denver, and the distributor is from Greely (CO).
Quality submission.

Summary: "A California man on Thursday sued.."
...from what I've read, a woman's vagina only has sensitivity in the first 3.75 inches, so big wang dang doodles don't really make a difference. However, if your cirumference is less than 3.75", you're measuring in at less than the necessary width to apply pressure to the walls of the vagina, and you might as well just stick it in the mud, 'cause its not going to do any good. So, really, wangular width is whats important.
Suing over spam has happened before. See here and here.
I hope this becomes a trend, so spammers become discouraged, and find other means of living, like drycleaning or cemetery watchmen.

In practice, many, many natural statistics are normally distributed, and it would be a reasonable guess that penis length is. Therefore, the mean and the median will be the same.

Is it possible for me to form and sue on behalf of a class, and name another class as the defendant?
No, you cannot name a "class" as defendants, no such animal. However, you can name a very large number of defendants (though they will not called a "class" no matter how many you name).
Although the rules for class actions differ from state to state, and from state to federal, I am quite certain that no jurisdiction entertain the possibility of a "class" of defendants.
I would like to sue on behalf of everyone who has received a penis-enlargement spam and did not respond to it.
When I get the time, I am seriously going to start a spamlaw practice, but until then I must refer you to federal law ("Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003") and California law - "Restrictions On Unsolicited Commercial E-mail Advertisers" - Business and Professions Code 17529 et. seq..
California consumers have the right to sue spammers directly and get their attorneys fees paid! See B&P code 17529.8(a)(1):
"In addition to any other remedies provided by this article or by any other provisions of law, a recipient of an unsolicited commercial e-mail advertisement transmitted in violation of this article, an electronic mail service provider, or the Attorney General may bring an action against an entity that violates any provision of this article to recover either or both of the following:
(A) Actual damages.
(B) Liquidated damages of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each unsolicited commercial e-mail advertisement transmitted in violation of Section 17529.2, up to one million dollars ($1,000,000) per incident.
(2) The recipient, an electronic mail service provider, or the Attorney General, if the prevailing plaintiff, may also recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs."
I would seek damages against the class of individuals who received this spam and did respond to it.
You will have to read the statute to see if it will fit, but if I were to assign this a Fark tag, it would be "Unlikely."
Happy suing!

The vaginal opening in a petite woman varies in size and depth. And that goes with any woman regardless of size mind you.
Same thing applies to men. Even the shortest, skinniest man can be well endowed.
Life is not for the lazy.
Quite a while ago I posted a comment to a spam article about trusting to buy from spammers, asking "Who would put in their mouth and swallow something from a spammer."
Well, it's old news (Haven't seen an opportunity to post this since then) but I was more correct in asking this than I had imagined.
Well, it turns out some folks at the Wall Street Journal did a laboratory study of these pills, and "analysis of a composite sample of 10 Performance Marketing pills and turned up significant levels of E. coli, yeast, mold, lead and pesticide residues."
So among other nasties, there is a significant amount of fecal matter in these pills.
I'm actually suprised this isn't bigger news.
Maybe we should all put it in our signature files until the spammers go away: "Penis Pills have Poop in them!"
Maybe some idiot that is stupid enough to buy from a spammer will die of E. coli and get a Darwin Award. Those sure get forwarded around a lot. Even my mom forwarded me the nominations for the 2003 Darwin Awards. (Which suprised me.)
Maybe I should submit it for a Front Page story, but it was originally reported on August 13, 2003.

No, you cannot name a "class" as defendants, no such animal. However, you can name a very large number of defendants (though they will not called a "class" no matter how many you name).
You can certify a defendant class. Check out FRCP Rule 23 ("sue or be sued...") or run a Google search on "defendant class action." It's rare, but it's available.
Eastern esoteric traditions that are not requiring celibacy (such as Tantric or Daoist) have special techniques for women that teach them how to use their vaginal muscles properly.

One uses little vaginal balls to do the training, and the results are that they have not only more plesure for themselves and their men, but also have less problems during childbirth and better tonus. As the result of this training, these women can become satisfied with smaller dicks among other things.
You can find the techniques in this book: http://www.universal-tao.com/amazon/healing_love.

Somehow I'd think that a rigor stiffend dick wouldn't count as an erection.
