No scam is a new scam. Support for that statement is found in Pope Brock's book CHARLATAN.Pope Brock tells the real-life story of the grandfather of Viagra: "Doctor" John R. Brinkley. Brinkley, a huckster, snake oil salesman, politician and broadcasting pioneer is the spiritual grandfather of Ron Popeil, Billy Mays and even Rush Limbaugh.
In his endless mission to push various miracle cures and dubious products, Brinkley had an inadvertent role in creating the American Medical Association and changed the face of radio broadcasting (and creating infomercials).
