Is that only coming out of NY? I'm a new subscriber to DirecTV.

9. Maybe it is product placement - did Rachel cover this story?
Wife calls police to restrain 82-year-old on Viagra
A woman had to call police to fend off the attentions of her amorous 82-year-old husband after he took Viagra, fearing that he might die of "passion".

The wife, who is also in her eighties, was worried that her husband's heart could give out because of over-exertion and called officers to their home in the Sicilian city of Palermo.

Police said that the man was "furious" when they arrived insisting that it was a private matter.

But she told them: "So much passion at the age of 82, with all the aches and pains he has, could prove lethal."

20. LOL! Maybe "huge growth" has something to do with it.

21. Hey, thanks for that! I hadn't seen it. But I would think that with
growing market share they could afford to be choosier about their ads.

Doesn't matter to me, though. It just had me wondering. Nice to see that she is on fire. Apparently people do like the thoroughness of her research and the interviews she does. Larry King just lets people yack away.

12. It's because she's reaching the male demographics!
At least the smart ones that think she's hot, even if she has no interest in them.

17. What did you expect? Her show is blowing up.
If her show exceeds four hours, call your doctor right away.

18. Perhaps you could send me a link to these "penis enlargement ads" you speak of.
Research purposes only, of course.

19. Because MSNBC doesn't turn down that many advertisers?
Edited on Tue Jun-02-09 10:37 PM by Cleita
Money, no matter where it comes from in advertising, is money. I would guess that's the reason.
