During the days of Caption This!, the SciFi Channel would run infomercials late at night, the most notorious ones being Carlton Sheets and Don LaPre. One of Don LaPre's infomercials revolved around his 'package', a set of books and tapes that would bring promised success to those that bought it. It didn't take very long for the cappers to give LaPre's 'package' a different definition (think of all the things 'package' can refer to, and you'll figure it out). Since the majority of shots from the infomercial were just Don LaPre talking to the camera, it became a running gag that LaPre was constantly imploring people to see his package, feel his package, buy his package, and so forth and so on.
