My favorite example is a "male enhancement pill" program that the FTC shut down a while back. Sold as a "cancel if it doesn't work" program, what the subscriber had to do in order to cancel was to get a letter from a doctor stating that the subscriber has a small penis and it didn't get any bigger.

Now, can you imagine scheduling an appointment with a doctor for that?
