WTF is Hoodia?

My ISP has a great Spam filter. Really great, in fact. I get something like 150 pieces of Spam per day, and it gets almost all of it.

Except this fucking Hoodia shit.

Every day, like a turd that just won't flush, there are a couple of Hoodia ads. They want me to "l0se weight." A noble goal, and 1337 as well. Unfortunately, there's a strict embargo on Hoodia. It is "not available in stores until February 28, 2006." But for me (and me only!) a link to purchase it is thoughtfully included in every one of the ten emails they send me every day.

Naturally, I'd rather stick my dick into a wood chipper than click on a Hoodia link. But I'm thinking that someone here might have clicked the link, or even purchased, Hoodia.

If so, do the world a favor: tell us about it. Animal? Vegetable? Mineral? Cheap? Expensive?

Please post your experiences - but don't mail them. I've got a new, second spam filter set up just for "Hoodia" and everything with that word is going straight into the trash.
