Oh the mailing lists I’m on. Quoted for your amusement: an advertisement email for a discount club. What next, late-night infomercials? (”I’m singularitily impressed with the results, Bob, and my penis is larger, too!”) Emphases are mine.

Become A Member — Be Better Than Well

The long-range goal of the Life Extension Foundation is the radical extension of the healthy human life span and to develop methods that enable us to live in health, youth, and vigor for unlimited periods of time. Because the WTA and Life Extension share this commonality, we would like to extend to you an exclusive offer for a drastically discounted one-year membership. For only $25 ($50 off normal price) you can continue down the road to improved health.

Ray Kurzweil, a prominent inventor, entrepreneur, author, and long-time Life Extension member once said, “A lot of people feel that they shouldn’t take a supplement or medication unless it’s a last resort. That’s not the case. Evolution is not on our side. We need to aggressively reprogram our biochemistry.”* Read more about Ray Kurzweil.

We at Life Extension want you to be a part of making yourselves better than well, as the WTA would so eloquently put it. So, for the significantly reduced membership price of only $25 (normally $75), you’ll enjoy first-class service with unlimited support and guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. You’ll have access to a special toll-free phone line where you can speak with health advisors and medical doctors about your personal health concerns – 7 days a week.

As a member, you’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

* An incredible 25%-80% discount on pharmaceutical quality dietary supplements.
* Life Extension magazine… a monthly publication filled with practical guidance about using nutrients and supplements to slow aging, and medical research findings – a $59.88 value.
* The Life Extension Product Directory… a comprehensive listing of nutrients and supplements that aging humans should take to maintain or regain their health.
* Benefits and discounts on products and services offered by select partner companies, such as Hertz, Bally’s, and Royal Resorts.

Join today – a special one year introductory price is just $25 – an incredible $50 reduction off the regular fee. Hurry, offer expires December 31, 2007. For faster service, you can call our toll-free number [redacted] and speak with one of our operators who are standing by 24/7. Learn more about Life Extension here.

P.S. Your satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed! If for any reason you are not completely satisfied, you may cancel your membership and get a prompt refund of the unused portion of your dues.
