Make Your Plants, and Your Lover, Hot This Valentine's Day

For the amoral marketing crowd the great thing about press releases is that you never have to back anything up. This must be so refreshing for University of Massachusetts ethno botanist Chris Kilham, the Medicine Hunter, who is pushing "Hot Plants: Nature's Sex Boosters" as the “it” gift for Valentine's Day.

According to Kilham

"Our modern culture is infected with DINS, that is -- dual income, no sex. Forty-five percent of married couples report having intimacy only 1-3 times per month. Thirty million American men suffer from performance issues, while record numbers of women complain of low libido due to the stress and fatigue of daily living."

Aside from the fact that none of these figures have sources cited, and DINS either sounds like something you need for a website, an annoying way of referring to dinner, or a bacterial infection, the most ridiculous part of this release is the fact that the only source cited is, I’m not joking, a company called SPINS.
