This was the original Linda Lovelace reference (she was the "actress" in the movie Deep Throat) which was then current. The button made a local LA radio station's morning show. This button, when placed on the VS2 Product Manager's desk back in Poughkeepsie was instrumental in making IBM management aware of the public perception of the lack of support and corrections for the VS2 product, and even more instrumental in gaining additional funding to solve those problems - the button was far more effective than all of the requirements that GUIDE and SHARE combined had submitted against VS2. And shortly thereafter, VS2 was renamed MVS, not accidentally.
