Which Head Has The Inadequate Size Here?

Stories like this make me wish a minimum intelligence requirement was instituted to file lawsuits. Three lawsuits are trying to claim class action status to represent one million people for false advertising against makers of herbal penis enlargement pills, alleging the medicine does not fulfill its promises [Ed. You mean magic penile pills don't work? Does the FDA know about this?].

The plaintiff [dude who sues for you non-legal folk out there] claimed he paid $59.95 for a 30-day supply of pills but "experienced no increase in penis size," and then was unable to collect a promised refund. The attorney said "many men had been taken in by dubious claims that the product would add up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) to their penises by "very, very convincing" advertising, such as infomercials featuring doctors and porn stars. [Ed. I always trust informercials and porn stars so why shouldn't anyone else?]
"Males, for whatever reason, may be susceptible because of what they feel they lack," DeNittis said. "It was so believable I confirmed with an expert (that the claims were false) before I filed the lawsuit. They said they had done medical studies proving that it works."
"


That mysterious "They" is always the one to blame right? This is a lawsuit the where two of my belief systems conflict. One, I am against fly-by-night operators praying on people's stupidity. People like that should be punished. Two, how stupid do you have to be to believe stuff like this? You did something stupid and survived. Let that be your reward. I'm so conflicted on which side I want to win. Can they both lose?
