A measure that would prevent radio and television broadcasters from airing advertising between 6 a.m.-10 p.m. related to erectile dysfunction has popped up again in Congress.
Jim Moran, the left-leaning Virginia Democrat who first introduced the Families for ED Advertising Decency Act in Congress in 2005, along with fellow Democrat Robert Brady of Pennsylvania, reintroduced the measure on April 29 with the aim to "prohibit as indecent the broadcasting of any advertisement for a medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and for other purposes."
The prohibition would apply to all "pioneer and generic drugs that are medications for treatment of erectile dysfunction or male enhancement," says the measure, now known in legislative terms as H.R. 2175.

I do not like these ads, but is this a slippery slope Congress should go down? What would be next to be banned?

Does it seem as if it is some men, particularly, who are upset by these ads?
To: 9YearLurker
It seems to be an overinflated problem. ;-P

What would be next to be banned? Hopefully, ads for sanitary napkins and the like.

You mean advertising ED drugs during Sponge Bob may not be appropriate?
Agreed, a slippery downward slope.

Wonder if this will apply to the new Trojan personal massager commercial running on TV (would love to the parents of a young girl explaining that one...).

Lets get this straight. NO PUN INTENDED. These members of the Democrat Political Party want to ban ads for erectile dysfunction, a natural medical condition for which there are effective medicines, to protect “children”. Yet the Democrat Political Party is the main pusher of teaching homosexual activity is normanl to our children in our schools? I doubt these idiots even see the irony in that.......
