This was just too blogworthy to pass up. Last night, I was watching Deliverance and immediately following the scene in which Ned Beatty's character is raped, the program switched over to commercials. And what commercial did they so unthinkingly choose? Cialis. And Flomax. Need I say more!And while we're on the subject. why have we been suddenly inundated with commercials for male enhancement and incontinence pads. My daughter and I almost fell off the sofa laughing the other night following a commercial in which a woman, stuck in traffic and looking miserable 'cause she really has to go, imagines a bathroom falling from the sky to save her. "This is never going to happen," a voice-over says. Suddenly she has a look of great relief on her face and smiles. I guess she used her pad. I wanted to be appalled but it was so unbelievable all I could do was laugh.

Bwahahahahahaha!
Now you've given me my laugh for the day. And my teenage son when he asked me why I was laughing!
Thanks!
Hmmm, is there something wrong with me? I didn't bust out laughing. Haven't seen that woman stuck in traffic one either.
Why are there so many of these commercials? I guess they figure they make money. All of a sudden we have this pretty big generation of people who needs all this stuff, the baby-boomers. Okay ... i just hope I never need any of it!!!
What's so amazing to me is that they actually have meetings to present these ideas for commercials and they are approved. So, my constant thought is: Who thought that commercial was a good idea?
And, I do understand that it's the baby boomers they're targeting, but surely an entire generation isn't prone to, as Abbadon said, "limp dicks." Or, for that matter incontinence. They're also the generation that taught us kegel exercises.
IMHO, men would do better to find and correct those aspects of their lives that are leading their impotence. Stress, poor diet... things that are also probably killing them. Taking an impotence drug just masks a symptom of some greater problem.
