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?

funny how Gene doesn’t mention the preferred form of currency. hmmmmmmmm.
… 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 is sort of a sexual aid. Until they contact us, it’s a moot point really.
… 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:
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.
