What is horny goat weed?…You Ask…..

A natural herb and aphrodisiac, Horny Goat Weed has been in use for over a 1,000 years, it’s scientific name is Epimedum or Yen Yang Huo in Chinese. According to legend it was discovered by a Chinese goat herder and the rest is a blissful history.

Let’s start from the start. This is from a Hall of Fame Beverages press release.

Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc. is proud to announce that they have licensed for commercial use the widely popular hit song “Atomic Dog” by George Clinton. The iconic and classic hit song “Atomic Dog” transcends both cultural and demographic divides worldwide and is one of the most influential and recognized dance songs in the history of both Pop and Urban music.

So, energy drink company seeks iconic, transcendent song to market a beverage. And, the natural choice is going to be “Atomic Dog” by George Clinton.

But, wait a minute wait a minute, waitwaitwait!

George….

…says; “Bobby, I don’t know but whats it ever product I license my song to for use in marketing, It gots to be funky!

And it is. As a matter of fact, the marketing strategy focuses a lot on the use of horny goat weed in the product. Really, they are selling horny goat weed here. And, evidently the chicks dig that. Take a look at the preliminary ad campaign at the Atomic Dog MySpace.

    Co Branding [don't stick a fork in this one]

    As us Battlestar Gallactica fans know the persecuted human minority refers to their robotic Cylon oppressors as toasters. So NBC/Universal did the smart thing and put out a Battlestar Gallactica branded toaster that imprints a picture of a Cylon ‘bot on the toast. $65 and it’s a limited run. Maybe the toaster is the 12th Cylon model?

    Cylon toaster is best co-branding ever!

    They usually shy from confrontation, pull back when faced with heavy decision-making and blatantly refuse to take an unpopular stand in a conflict. Ha!!

    Greatest Affinity : Rabbit, Boar
    Greatest Enmity : Ox.

    Goat people are dreamers. I sleep a lot at the wrong times
    They are obsessed with their appearance. That is ridiculous… what appearance?
    Goats like to study the esoteric to know more about the unknown. That fits…
    They enjoy reading books about horoscope and fortune telling. ? Huh?
    Goat people are very romantic sensitive, sweet and darling. That’s Me!!

    Now try to get my Goat !!
