Actually, Bob doesn't have erectile disfunction -- the product is supposed to make a man... uh... bigger.

The FDA won't let you say that without proof, so much like the HeadOn ad, there are no specific claims made in the ad.

Those commercials are pretty creative actually, considering the topic. The other ED commercials are sappy and gay, IMO.

I have absolutely never figured out what Head-on-applied-directly-to the forehead means. I also have never seen this for sale anywhere, nor would I buy it because I have no idea if it's for impotence, infertility, stupidity, low bank balance,high blood pressure, none of the above.

I also HATE the Vonnage commercial with the stupid repetitious song.

My son has a copy of that music on his mp3 player and plats it when somebody does something really stupid.

The people who make these commercials think that if they annoy you enough, or are obnoxious enough, or insult your intelligence enough, you will buy their product. They must all be Democrats.

Advertisements are criminally-sneaky, and they invade your home with subliminal messages.


:-p

There is a new one out by Progressive - gray-haired man with the "black box" telling you that you don't know what's in the box. I think I know the man, but have tried to find out how to get his name and have come up with nada.

That's Kenny Mayne, a anchorman for ESPN.

I only have one thing to say about that "Head On" commercial...

Most.
Annoying.
Commercial.
Ever.

And I detest the "head on" commercial. I mute it every time.

The drug company commercials are the most annoying, especially when the innumerable side effects are listed at blinding speed, taking up at least half the (occasionally 2 minute) ad.

So these days I mute nearly all commericials.

That is bordering on child pornography. It is very sick.

A female voice repeats "HeadOn: Apply directly to the forehead!" three times

jeez, I'm glad to see this post. I thought something was wrong with me when I get so upset when watching that commercial. I switch channels immediately now when it comes on. I JUST HATE IT!!!!!! Her voice is irritating and reminds me of the voice on all the automated call systems at so many companies and organizations, doctor's offices, dental offices, customer service offices, government offices. That voice is so irritating that I just can not listen to it anymore. There is no way in hell I'll ever even consider buying that product.
