We haven’t heard much from Herman Cain since he stumbled through a run for president last year. But Cain, former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, isn’t just a politician—he’s a business, man. Looks like he’s pushing a new business idea.

On his website, New York writer Evan Gahr posted an email that went out to Cain TV’s subscriber email list, hyping a new erectile dysfunction pill. At the top of the email, there’s an “editor’s note,” clarifying that the message is from Cain TV’s “sponsor partner,” Natural Breakthrough Research LLC. Gahr quotes a doctor on his blog, who calls the meds “BS.” Elsewhere, Cain TV rep Dan Calebrese confirmed the email ad is legit, stating, “It’s not a product I would use but I saw no reason it should not be advertised.”

Once you get to the Natural Breakthrough website, an excited man tells you how these all-natural boner pills will improve your life and prevent your wife or girlfriend from cheating on you. It also includes the term “senseless erection.”
