What I want to see in a Cialis commercial is ...

[gp0560]

A gay couple.

 

A heterosexual couple where at least one does not have a wedding ring.

[+ Charlie]

There is a new Viagra commercial with a beautiful young woman in a football jersey who gives the pitch. Early on, she is posed so that you can't miss her gold wedding band. But she is not wearing an engagement ring. How many young women do you know who don't wear their engagement rings with their wedding rings? A male viewer might not notice that, but I would expect most women viewers would see that as a sign she is only wearing the gold band for the commercial.

 

If they showed a gay couple, would they have to be wearing wedding rings, too?

The gay couple would at least have the good sense to forgo the separate bathtubs.

I know tons of women who wear only a gold band.

(They really did send this out one year -- I asked her. )

I've thought that engagement rings with enormous diamonds are sort of out of favor. Young women have either a modest engagement ring or none at all. It's only older women who have those big rocks. By today's standards, they look a little gaudy.

My parents married in 1948, and my mother had only a wedding band, out of economic constraint. My father had given her a simple necklace on their engagement.

I assume that the ring is there to make conservative, religious people more comfortable with the message. They, not krazy single guys on a bender, are the untapped market who may be embarrassed to see a doctor.

I know quite a few married women who do just that. Large or flashy e-rings (or any rings with stones) can attract too much attention, both from other women and from muggers. Also, the stone tends to get caught in things.

Older women have bigger rocks because some ask their husbands for bigger rings as they get older (and have more money). If big e-rings have gone out of style, I haven't seen it. Many American women spend a lot of time thinking about the type and size of ring they want, even when they don't have a boyfriend.

 

I've never understood that obsession, any more than the obsession with weddings. It's impossible for me to think about a ring without thinking about the guy it would presumably come from.

Come to find out, MOTHERS are another group who've got a bone to pick ( ) with the way Viagra and Cialis are advertised...

 

Viagra/Cialis is the New National Pastime

 

A friend recently bemoaned to me the experience of watching televised major league baseball playoffs with her grade-school sons. Her boys love baseball, like so many boys from so many generations before them. Baseball, after all, is our country's national pastime. It's as American as apple pie, peanuts and Cracker Jack. It's all about good clean family fun and other Norman Rockwell shit like that.

 

But you know what Norman Rockwell never put into a painting? An erection lasting more than four hours. See, today's baseball-watching experience is also very much about maintaining an erection with the aid of Viagra or Cialis.

 

A hot cheerleader in a football jersey casually tosses a football around and uses her best sultry bedroom voice to coo to an audience of men who can't get their junk to stand at attention. She lets them know it's all good, because the only thing standing between them and a big fat chubber is a little blue pill courtesy of Pfizer! Ask your doctor or pharmacist today!

 

Why should a mother have to explain to her seven year-old son why every half-inning brings a different commercial for boner meds, and whether "an erection lasting more than four hours" is a good or a bad thing? Pretty soon they'll be re-writing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame":

 

Take me out to the doctor

Take me out for blue pills

Buy me Viagra and make it quick

I simply can't do without a hard dick

'Cause it's root, root, root for a boner

If I don't score it's a shame

For it's one, two, three strokes you're out

In the old-man game!

 

God bless America, boners, and Big Pharma!

While it's certainly true that prescription drugs should't be advertised on prime-time TV, boners are a good thing. The world needs more boners.

[gp0560]

Come to think of it, you know what else should not be advertised on TV?

 

Ass wipes. (I'm looking at you, Charmin.)

And how about...

Advertisers, like military drone users, if they can hit their target, they are willing to accept collateral damage,. If enough people complain to put a dent in sales, you will not see Viagra commercials until later at night as advertisers accept collateral damage but not their sales.
