In the one I&#8217;ve selected to share, David is wearing an (ahem) artificial male member on his forehead. The surface message of that particular artistic choice (namely, that even a <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">d*ckhead<\/span> can scam girls using Strauss&#8217;s method) isn&#8217;t missed by its creators as the word d*ckhead features prominently in the video&#8217;s title. The larger, more subtle message about the types of people that would actually buy into Strauss&#8217;s method is, presumably, not thought about much.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV Squad reports: Hey, remember that show The Pick-up Artist, starring internationally recognized d-bag Mystery?
