THAT's the problem. Every other ad is for ED for crying out loud.
This bill will draw some stiff competition from the drug lobby. I wonder if it will last long? It’s hard to say.
They can include the ones for Birth Control and incontinence as well.
Tampons, reference to “heavy days”... I just do not want to hear about that stuff on TV.
Bring back Joe the Camel and the Marlboro Man.
Summer Breeze, remove them too.
With all the crap on TV these days, I'd say ED commercials should be the least of any parent's worry...
That would be Alltel's Chad. And it's the same commercial for two months straight without change.
Reminds me of the psychological brainwashing toture of a movie where the Russians wanted the formula for Coca-Cola and played "Itsy-Bitsy-Teenie-Weenie-Yello-Polka-Dot-Bikini endlessly. And at high speed.
A 4 hour debate may follow...
Does anyone know what the two bath tubs represent?
Nope. Too icky.
"Icky" is the only word for those things. Even when they try to be funny.
The retired can’t afford a regular swimming pool with Obamanomics?
How about that Alka-Seltzer commercial where a foil packet falls out of the guy’s wallet at dinner, onto the table, and his date demands to know,
“What kind of girl do you think I am?!”
and then she sees that it’s just antacids and they both laugh.
I kept expecting him to reply, “The kind of girl who has pulled a few `boners’ herself?”
Raised eyebrows all around.
(`Gee, I dunno `bout that last line Bob—kinda rough—but let’s run it up the ol’ flagpole and see if it gets a salute from the standards dept.’ Both ad execs laugh.)
Reminds me of the old Bloom County toon when the guys were headed into a woman's bathroom. One of them asks something along the lines of "What is feminine protection, anyway? A chartreuse flamethrower?"
The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to me, and with a grip on my shoulder, warned, "This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say '1-2-3.' When you do that, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life and you can go as long as you want."
I was encouraged. As I walked away, I turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4,' he responded. "But when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."
I was eager to see if it worked so I went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited my wife to join me in the bedroom. When she came in, I took off my clothes and said, " 1-2-3!"
Immediately, I was the manliest of men. My wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. And then she asked, "What did you say 1-2-3 for?"
And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition.
One could end up with a dangling participle.
I’m put off by the ads, but I don’t know if this is route to go. Kids tend to be pulled into things that interest them, and I just don’t see anything in these ads that would capture their attention. Except, maybe, that Viva Viagara song. Even if they do ask about it — well, if parents can’t come up with an answer to that (and it doesn’t even have to go into all the details— an answer like “it’s a problem some grownups have” will suffice) — then how are they going to answer the inevitable, bigger, and more important questions the kids will ask? Oh, wait. I know. Have the government provide a manual of answers, or just make the situations go away that might result in uncomfortable questions.
I miss Bloom County/Outland.
