From ArsTechnica:

"An order log left exposed at one of Amazing Internet Products' websites revealed that, over a four-week period, some 6,000 people responded to spam and placed orders for the company's Pinacle herbal supplement--a supplement to, you guessed it, make your *ahem* larger. Most customers ordered two bottles of the pills at a price of $50 per bottle."

Blimey!
