MMeM, Vol.11 Issue 44 – Counter Productive

Ok, for years viewers of all ages at all hours have been subjected to endless advertising for ED medications. From laughing happy couples, to holding hands across two separate bath tubs, it goes on and on incessantly.

Lately, it has raised the bar of idiocy especially during what is sure to be prime time target market viewing. Football. It’s surprising that with all of the fervor over domestic violence in and around the NFL, that welcoming sexually suggestive ads sandwiched between beer and alcohol ads doesn’t seem, oh I don’t know, counter productive? Then, there is a chance, yes I’m saying there’s just a chance that there could be some young people watching sports with their parents. Some of these ED commercials are borderline soft porn for goodness sake!

But alas, no one says anything or seems to have any problem with this. Now these same silent types suddenly come out of the woodwork when an elevator video shows an unconcious woman being drug out of it or a story surfaces about another woman being thrown onto an assault weapons futon. How could these episodes happen? I don’t know, maybe the perps watched commercials.

Take the Viagra commercial showing the women lounging about her bedroom in the football jersey while playing with a football. Yeah, look I’ll bet Tom Brady’s wife super model Gisele Bündchen doesn’t do that afer he’s won a Super Bowl. (Please, insert inflated jokes here)

While I’m on the subject of ED drugs, what about the Cialis one, I believe, that touts the everyday dose practice so men don’t have to forgo the horrible situation of having to deal with, “When a moment comes along why pause to take a pill or find a bathroom?” Ok, what does “….or find a bathroom?” refer to here? Does this infer that some men need to take an ED pill in the privacy of the bathroom? Pause to take a pill? You have to have a half glass of water to wash that pill down? OH, poor baby! Or is there something else going on with these ED pills of which I’m not aware? Are they being crushed and snorted, melted and shot up after the user ties off and taps for a good vein? In that case then, I get it, yes, they have to slump off to the secrecy of a restroom for the deed.
