Here they go again .. these very sexually implicit and direct ads for Levitra or Cialis .. in the middle of a Sunday afternoon football game.

I just don't understand how the pharmaceuticals pass the FCC decency requirements for daytime TV programming.

I just cringe every time I hear them in the daytime .. for the intrusion on the innocence of the precious little ones. And I'm angry right along with the parents of youngsters, as they must be, when they are forced to deal with this very adult subject matter in the middle of a football game!!

If a 5 yr old is watching .. and paying attention .. how can they not ask, "Mommy what's ED? What does that mean == the "right moment?"

This explicit advertising is over the top and should be banned in daytime. I urge those as concerned to email Chairman Powell here:

email form for Chairman Michael Powell, FCC.

This is just not right. Thank you. Off my soapbox now. Go Peyton!!

You can't watch daytime tv without being inundated with feminine hygiene product commercials, either. Talk about human bodily functions with your kids or Tivo everything to watch later.

5:00 Sunday Afternoon! - Try 24/7. That saucy babe's face has almost burned itself into my picture tube as much as that series of ads is played here.

So much for developing life-saving drugs. These Companies would rather peddle recreational, dubiously effective drugs than actually meet the real needs of a health-care starved public.

Got TiVo? Good, record the game and watch at a different time. If you think that Powell and the FCC are going to eff with big Pharm think again. (They'll eff with Howard Stern though because prudes can't turn him off and will write a total of three letters in order to censor him. That's OK, as soon as he moves to uh-ah-ah it'll be all over but the shout for terrestial radio).

You mean the one with the guy with the horns? (That they took off the air)

BTW - What is Enzite - Don't know the term or the product.

Took a Cialis a couple hours ago, one down and three to go. While you guys are watching the games, I'll be getting smilies on the fridge from the Mrs.

LOL - I don't live under a rock and I rarely, if ever, watch Comedy Central. From the description of the ad though I'm certain it's as irritating as any of the other ads for ineffective/harmful ED medications out there.
