Does Boost help men in more ways than one?

Boost Here's an advertisement I'm sure the company wasn't prepared for.

A man in New York is suing the makers of the nutritional drink Boost because the drink gave him a three day erection. He claims that the ordeal was unbearable and embarrassing and that he sustained "severe bodily injuries" and impotence. No word on how much money the man is seeking.

There's an old joke by a comedian, can't remember which one, that goes something like "Call a doctor? If I had a four hour erection I'm calling everyone I know!" But I don't doubt something like that would be painful (he underwent something called a "winter shunt," which sounds awful) and really scary. Though I wonder how they will prove Boost was the cause? (And isn't it odd the name of the company is Mead Johnson?)

The makers of Boost should gladly pay this man whatever his lawsuit seeks. And then they should hire him as their spokesman.

I guarantee you that the sales of this product will, um, surge as this priceless publicity makes its rounds. Hell, I could use a boost right about now...

One of the most common logical fallacies is to believe that because one thing happened and then another thing happened, the first must have caused the second.

Boost Plus consists of water, corn syrup solids, sugar, milk proteins, oil, and small amounts of various vitamins. There's nothing in it that could have resulted in this man's symptoms.

""It was awful. It was painful. I would always wear jeans, but it was hard to go out, so I had to buy some sweatpants," Woods said."

He had a hard on and walked around in sweat pants? Now that's just showing off..
