Horny Goatweed (O_o)

A few days back while having lunch, I was flipping through some magazines when I stumbled over an ad that had me going "OMFGWTFLMAO" for about 10 freakin' minutes.

This ad, is about a drug called Horny Goatweed. [Pause]. Let me repeat it again, just in case you didn't catch it the first time.


H-O-R-N-Y GOATWEED.


I.kid.you.not. I mean, asides from the obvious play on the series Desperate Housewives, can you imagine reading this headline over a lunch of roast lamb? (-_-")


"Don't get desperate, get HORNY!"


OMG. OMG. OMG. *Keels over for another 5 full minutes of helpless laughter*. Oh, oh, and if that's not enough to make you spill out your guts, check out the intro:

It's depressing. We don't even cultivate the habit of having hunky, topless gardeners trim our gardens, how to fantasize lah?

Call me ignorant. Call me a jakun. But OMFG I never even knew there was a HERB called Horny Goatweed. Honestly, which brilliant soul decided on such an illustrious name? (And I thought the 'Rape' plant was bad enough.)

My imagination instantly went into major overdrive. "Could it be, back then there was a rampant history of people indulging in carnal activities with goats that led to such a name?"

*snigger*

Chewah. For females also. Wahsey. Terror-nya.

Alas, according to Wikipedia, it seems Horny Goatweed was discovered by a Chinese goat herder who noticed his goats getting frisky after those goats ate the bloody plant. [Cues 'Sound of Music' yodelling goat song]

Figures. But yes, apparently Horny Goatweed a.k.a Epimedium allegedly has aphrodisiac superpowers properties, and has long been cultivated as a popular GARDEN PLANT in Japan.

You hear that peeps? No need to rob the pharmacy for Viagra okay? Just go raid people's garden in Japan. Lol.

Voila! They have website too!

Sorry peeps, for safety purposes, I thought it prudent to censor the CU images of the frolicking couple, lest some serious-looking man come knocking on my door accusing me of inciting lust in the general public.

So yeah, if you're curious or just plain bored, you can hop over to their site and check it out. Or if you're in Australia, do me a favour and hunt it down in Coles or Woolworth.

Apparently it's retailing at AUD $39.95. (Sure boh? So affordable?)

Coles & Woolworth! Where I practically did all my grocery shopping back in Perth, yet NEVER stumbled across any Horny Goatweed whatsoever.

*sniggers again*


One word describes this ad.

PRICELESS.
