erectile dysfunction commercials

"You never know whenthe moment may be right"...with really smaltzy "romantic" music in the background...always a middle aged affluent married couple. Just once I would like to hear cheesy '70s porno jazz start playing, and see a scene taking place outsidethe acceptable marketingnorm. Anyone else have a dirty mind? Not so much for the dirtiness itself, but IMHO mocking the commercialization of sex is good for the soul.

The late great Marilyn Chambers crashing the set of these commercials to show us "Cialis - Behind the Green Door"! Or a gay couple doing the commercial. Never happen. Middle age Mercedes owners only, please.

Whenever the disclaimer part of the commercial comes on-- the part about "erections lasting four hours or longer..."-- she does her best Announcer Voice and says they should be rep[orted to the Pope so that they can be recorded as official miracles.

Is Johnny letting you down? Did your fluffer tell you to go fluff yourself? Does Debbie refuse to do your Dallas?

Try Ram-bien. You'll say "Muy bein, Ram-bien!"

Their entertainment value almost mnade up for the fact that Enzyte was a complete ripoff. Wasn't that company indicted for fraud or something?

O...too many, one very late summer night, I called the Enzyte order number, and asked them in my best "Borat" voice to send me "pills to give me bigger sexy feet" operator busted out laughing

I heard that before a real doctor starts you on testosterone supplement, they have to do a thourough screening for colon cancer, as the extra testosterone will accelerate the growth if it is already present

WHAT is the DEAL with the twin bathtubs?

Do they represent the soaking you're gonna get if you have to pay for those things out-of-pocket?

...the twin bathtubs at all. I mean, you just took horny pills and you'regoing to sit in seperate bathtubs in the midddle of the woods taking in scenery? Is the message that the sex had bby the 1% is beautiful and artistic, as opposed to the sex had by the rest of us which is vulgar and pornogrphic? It sure seems that way.

I imagine that most of the guys who actually use these drugs out of real necessity, are probably closer to Bob Dole's age (Dole circa late 90's anyway), and in less good shape than he is. But I guess the "ugly truth" wouldn't be so marketable.

...so what's the problem?

The only time that's really a problem is when you wake up at 3 in the morning with a kickstand and can't get back to sleep because of it. That's not even a sexual reference - it's just in the fucking way!!!

An erection lasting that long could damage the blood flow caps to the penis, which means you might never be able to get it up again. That's enough to make me "stand up and take notice"

"Ask your doctor if Levitan is right for you. "
"Side effects may kick ass!!"
"Levitan may cause dizziness, vomiting, confusion, irritability..."
"And a boner that goes on for four hours!"
"That would be cool!!"
