Okay - I'm a teacher on vacation and watching Fox news.
It's 11:00 in the morning and an ad comes on for "KY massage and personal lubricant." The husband lights up when the wife says "personal lubricant" and she says it again at the end of the ad and winks. There is a clear sexual tone to the ad.
Is it me or is this out of bounds?
Anyone else see it?
I'm calling FOX and I'll post what happens.
Oh no...I sense a frightening picture coming up....
Fire the cable company. Kill your television. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to invite this kind of trash into your home. You can get more news than you need from the 'net, and without having to worry about introducing phrases like "personal lubricants", "erectile dysfunction", and "natural male enhancement" to your kids.
most parents know exactly what you mean.
So finds some in the bathroom and puts it in her eyes.
I think in this case, the idea of massage oil is really easier to explain than the lie is.
"You couldn't talk to your own wife about a personal lubricant?"
Never needed it, do you?
I will join your cause -- I oppose everything.
Charman bathroom tissue has a cartoon ad involving bears in the woods.
Do not forget the countless ads for herpes medication. Those people are always happy, running around on the beach, biking in the wilderness..."Look at me! I've got my RAGING CASE OF HERPES under control!"
Give me a break. How are they supposed to advertise their product? Good grief. There is nothing wrong with their product and they are obviously marketing it to the people who might be in need of it. Nature is not kind to menopausal women. Are they supposed to stop enjoying life?
Absolutely, but I always use Valvoline 10W40.
Perspective.
Just wait till you see the (possible) winners in TODAY Show's next Wedding Contest. Gay couples now eligible.

And I also remember seeing a TV Broadcast of a football game between the University of California and some other team. During the game, the TV producers had the cameramen pan around the stadium.
Someone was holding a sign that said, "Hey USC Fans -- Show us Your Trojan Pack".
It took a few seconds for the TV producers to realize (this is 1970 or so) what the sign meant.
I just think there are worse things on tv than this commercial. It is up to each parent to decide what they think is appropriate for their children.
Unfortunately, our society has been coarsened, and as a parent I have to be vigilant. S'all I'm saying.
I doubt the poster who is so horrified by the commercial would have such a thing in her medicine cabinet.
No, but if we did, we'd certainly be able to talk about it.
I would have thought you were more of a WD40 guy...
"Your wife asked you what KY was? I find that impossible to believe"
From what we know of KY, it is for an alternate life style, in which we do not indulge. Whatever happend to natures personal lubricate? I guess some are just to lazy or uncaring to properly take the time for it.
