Woody have the same response to estrogen commercials for ladies? He appears to give Cialis,Viagra and the other "ed" products the shaft. He is thinking with the wrong head.

Period. I despise nearly all commercials with a fiery burning passion, but I hate the idea of frivolous censorship even more. The market should determine what is on tv-- if you don't like stupid crap in commercials, for the love of god don't buy the stuff. The prescription drug ads thing is a separate, totally screwed up issue of its own. The government does not exist to mandate matters of taste. Period.

Prescription drugs should be banned from television advertising period. Inform the doctors and let them decide what should be prescribed. This advertising is both a scam and part of what is driving up drug costs and is linked to predatory abuses of medical patents. They pump this years "new variant" of last years drug making it sound like a new drug with a new name but in reality just a bigger price tag with little ifany difference for the majority of us while at the same time shielding them selves from true competition with the generics. Seriously molecules should not be patentable. And I get tired of all the side effects may include (insert long list of really nasty things) to get rid of sniffles.

And therein lies the rub. Advertisers, don't give a crap about "decency", and "good taste". Their job is to market product. Period. If you're going to get rid of ED ads, then get rid of tampon ads, Crohn's disease ads, anti-diarrheal ads, acne ads, fat pill ads, Head-on ads, and the foot fungus ad where that little gremlin lifts up the toe-nail.

I am exposed to it enough at other people's houses. The reason is the "laugh track" and advertisments. I know when I think something is funny, I don't see how a laugh track is anything but an insult to my intelligence. And ads, they are too loud and also an insult to my intelligence. I especially hate the "women products," the "ED products," all the pharmacy ads (yes, I feel that doctors are pushers, rarely do I find a doctor who uses common sense or can help me with a common problem without resorting to chemicals of some sort or another, and we wonder why our kids are into drugs...), and the pushing of sex, and the idea that the only people worthwhile are young and in some type of sexual relationship, especially pushing "alternative" relationships. This brainwashing goes on 24/7/365. I find the average intelligence of people (and the level of interest I can drum up in a conversation with them) is inversely proportional to the amount of time they spend in front of the "idiot box" AKA TV.

People shouldn't be asking their doctors to prescribe medicine based on a TV commercial-- it's not a Hasbro toy, people. But, yes, there is a high ick factor at play with these ads in particular.

I also don't get the point of the bath tubs on this commerical when they are in separate tubs. GROSS!
