External thrush? Is that like a vaginal yeast infection?
Why would some male musician endorse that product?
I'm so missing something I think! lol!

The whole thing is a joke for King Crimson fans. I actually got it off the blog on his record company's website.

Thrush is that sort of infection. I'm not sure it's yeast, but it's that sort of thing. Remember the baddies in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.? Now you get it.

I can't imagine Fripp endorsing any product he or his wife didn't make and own. I think they have sometimes enough trouble even getting him to endorse his own music.

The Deception of the Thrush is the title of a piece of music, and a compilation album, by King Crimson.

Fripp has written hundreds, maybe thousands, of aphorisms, which you can find scattered randomly at the bottom of every page of the Discipline Global Mobile site. The quote on the packet is in the style of many of his aphorisms.

My mind was boggling too.

I suppose it still is, but thanks to your explanation it's now boggling quite happily.
