-[[Cueball]] is sitting in a nice sports car, and his (Cueball-like) friend asks when he got it. It turns out it was bought as a prize supposed to be delivered to the 100,000,000th visitor to his company's website. But the user did not react to the notice on the page about the prize, '''even though it was flashing'''.

But the user did not react to the notice on the page about the award, ''' even though it was flashing'''.
-A well-known type of Internet scam tries to trick the reader into thinking that they've won a prize, often in the form of an annoying flashy ad banner (e.g. "'''You're our <span style="color: green;">100,000,000th</span> visitor!!! Click {{w|Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose/Uh-huh|HERE}} to claim a <span style="color: red;">FREE</span> Ferrari!'''"). A typical {{w|clickbait}}.

-Cueball actually really did have a fancy car to give out, but the winner didn't claim it, believing it to be a scam. It is a bit like {{w|The Boy Who Cried Wolf|the boy who cried wolf}} — given enough lies, the truth will eventually look like a lie.

-(As coincidences would have it, exactly the same joke appears in the much-loved British comedy series ''{{w|That Mitchell and Webb Look}}'', in a 2006 John Finnemore sketch about a "MASSIVE YACHT!" giveway. Presumably Randall hadn't come across the ''Mitchell and Webb'' version when he wrote this comic three years later.)

-The title text refers to another type of scam: advertising fake "{{w|Penis enlargement|male enhancement}}" drugs. [[Randall]] suggests that if such a drug really did exist, it would be very difficult to advertise effectively, since most people would assume it was a scam. Additionally there may be a relation implied (intersection) between people having sports cars and people needing penis enlargements: big cars to compensate feelings of inferiority{{Citation needed}} (or [[1615: Red Car|red cars to compensate for cyanness]]).
