If the Revolution is not going to be televised, can someone please tell me why this crap is?

This deals pretty much with advertisements only:

- I'm not looking this one up, but it sounds like "SeeAlice": First we had Bob Dole pitching Viagra, and that was bad enough. Now we have this stupid woman bragging about "her guy" and SeeAlice. "For my guy, it's about the 'quality' of the experience." Really?? I'm thinkin' he's just glad he can even have an "experience". men who experience an erection for more than 4 hours (priapism) should seek immediate medical attention. Really...

- Going hand-in hand with this (yes, pun) are all of the "male enhancement" drugs being pitched these days. The one that gets me the most is the guy in the deli holding the salami and letting us know that size does matter. That being the case, shouldn't he be making more salami instead of slicing the one he has down?

- Perscription medications. Remember the days when you went to the doctor, told them what was wrong, then they told you what you should take? Once they get done telling you ALL of the potential side effects, do you find yourself wanting to run to the doctor and demand he write you some script, or do you just sit there thinking "hmm...anal leakage..that don't sound so good."

- Feminine hygeine products. Can't forget the ladies! Do y'all really sit around in groups discussing "April Freshness" , wings/no wings, or (ahem) "dryness"? I figure, if you need em, you pretty much know where to get them, or you ask your mom.

This list could be endless... Which ones gripe you?

Hey now. Some of those ads do some good. For example the one with the lady from Northern Exposer. I never realized that I had low tear production until I saw that commercial. Every time I see it, I can feel my eyes drying up like raisins. Awareness is the first step.
