Levitra and Cialis were Greek gods. You can see their hard marble statues in Athens.

Yeah, know what you mean. There are a number of these "Snake Oil" type products that are funny but actually get some idiot to buy them. Something about P.T. Barnum, time and people?

BTW IMO Viagra, Cialis and Levitra all fall into the Snake Oil category but, since I've never tried any I can't speak from personal experience. :-)

Jeez, how about a little common sense here. Fat guys who can't get it up are more interested in watching men tackle each other than their wife next to them. It's called capitalism. Same reason they have the fitness infomercials on at 3 am, the fatties are eating ice cream and cookies wondering why they are fat!

/just saying...

LOL - Well I guess that shoots down my suspicion that this stuff is Snake Oil. It appears to work, if it doesn't kill you! :-)

Oh, I hate those ads. Every time the guy pitches the football through the center of the tire swing and gets this nasty little smirk on his face I just cringe. Yes, that is subtle indeed. Why not one of him pumping gas into the car when he and the missus notice a motel across the street? Imagine the way you can have him cramming that nozzle into the gas tank! Why he could make the whole car rock! And she could be eating a banana at the time! Why, the possibilities for mortifying commercials are endless!

Hate, hate, hate those ads.

What happens when you give Cealis to a lawyer?

He gets taller.

I have emailed Chairman Powell about the same thing. I have yet to receive a reply. I don't have any little children at home now but I don't even like my 18 year old seeing it. Our culture has become so course. I don't watch much TV so I don't know a lot of what is advertised, but I have even seen condoms advertised on TV. No parent should have to try to explain sexual things to a young child. Maybe we all just need to keep putting pressure on the FCC, although sometimes I feel like they just don't care anymore.

I can't stand those Levitra ads, and I scramble for the remote whenever they come on. But I'm darned if I see anything about them that would get them ruled out of bounds by the FCC...

Anybody who TiVoed or taped the Eagles-Vikings game should check out when the Eagles took the field before kickoff. They erupted out of a tunnel with a large football helmet at the end. "Levitra" was written on the side of the tunnel.

As long as there are gullible men, limp seniors, and gays who are using it for their hobby, I guess we'll have to put up with these very juvenile ads. Sure, we all sit on the side of a hill in separate bathtubs waiting for the "right moment"...The FCC ought to fine them for pathetic copy as well as gross impropriety.

"No foul. Everything is left to the imagination."

Oh really? I guess that's true if you've got the intelligence of a rock.

--------------------

The first ad featured middle-aged couples, nuzzling to jazz music with a tag line that says, "If a relaxing moment turns into the right moment, will you be ready?" Newer ads will have a similar theme.

".......saying the drug improves erection quality and how that experience increases her partner's desire to "do this more often."

"For him Levitra works - just look at that smile," she purrs.

------------------

This isn't about your impression of the ad, it's about understanding what it is to have young, impressionable children inappropriately exposed to this adult sexual content.
